This one is also probably an SA-3 site. Soviet doctrine, which Egypt adopted, often had multiple sites around high value targets. The equipment is moved every so often to prevent potential enemies from easily targeting the sites and it has the added advantage of keeping the crews proficient at setup and takedown.
