A rig about that vintage, blower augers were bigger, was used on state highway 14 in my part of minnesota until just a couple years ago. It was painted orange not armed grey. We had a decade or more of not too extreme winters, then we had some big ones again, mostly blowing snow, fill in the roads. That old blower would come humming along.
