Mobile lighting units/systems for garrisons, etc., in WWII through early-'60s?

[RCH]

I'm curious if anyone can shed any light on a question I have about mobile/portable lighting units/systems that might have been used during WWII and through the early-'60s.  I can only imagine that there were things like the venerable PE-95 generator units that powered incandescent (or even mercury vapor) lights on poles or towers, in a similar manner to the portable LED light tower carts that we see today (as in the photos below).  However, I have never seen such a thing, nor have I been able to find any specific information.
Can anyone enlighten me?

The NF-2 light cart is a light that extends via scissors, has a generator also...I don't know the exact time in service but was used in the 1960s until 1990s...
