Nice pics all. I had to look twice Bob, I thought it was a color image. Excellent work.

This is an interesting read on Jap barges "Japanese Use of Military Barges" from "Tactical and Technical Trends" 1944. It mentions the usual barge was wood:

Check out some of the other "Tactical and Technical Trends" articles at the above site. One article map shows Jap gun emplacements on Munda.

I didn't have official documents on barges but ran across these:

Total topic drift but interesting:

The images were labeled USAF WW2 / Japanese barge at Guam:
