Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader, there may be an answer of sorts. After the story published on SFGATE, Bay Area reader Tom Ruppel emailed with his find."Check out the Redding Record-Searchlight of Feb. 15, 1969," Ruppel wrote."There's a story and photo spread of USFS workers clearing debris from Shasta Lake using these vessels. There are a couple of pictures of the craft, but I couldn't make out any hull numbers. My money's on that.
A February 1969 article in the Redding Record Searchlight showed a military landing craft being used to dredge Lake Shasta.A trip into the archives unearthed the story in question. The Record Searchlight story highlights the work of Forest Service employees who dredged the lake after winter storms."To make the lake clear and safe for summer vacationers is the task of 'Operation Clean Sweep' of the U.S. Forest Service," the article reads.
"A falling-crew cut down the snags from the deck of a former military landing craft that the Forest Service uses to carry men, materials and smaller pieces of equipment such as D-6 tractors around the lake," the story reported. One photo caption, accompanying an image that looks much like the mystery boat, reads:"A World War II LCM [landing craft mechanized] is used to fall snags when the water is low.
