It's Shuttle ETs.

It wouldn't have been if they'd used steel. The tank wall itself would have been a better thermal barrier allowing less dangerous TPS. Then just replace the SRBs with a safe LRB design and you're golden.

Probably. I really need to try and find a complete listing of the external tanks and what happened to them

All of these were probably used in some kind of preflight testing. Given the date in the photo some of that hardware might be this tank:

https://abandonedfl.com/space-shuttle-external-fuel-tank/
>According to SpaceFlight Insider, the tank is the was the third and final test tank for the Space Shuttle Program and was used for structures/stress testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama between 1977 and 1980. Once it was no longer needed, it was put on display and then later moved to NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. In 1997, it was moved again to Kennedy Space Center where it was put on display for the public up until 2013.
>It was to be put on display outside [Wings of Dreams Aviation Museum in Keystone Heights, Florida] and eventually, a cover would be put over it to protect it from the elements. As of 2018 though, the fuel tank is still at the Port of Green Cove Springs.
