Is Bovington Tank Museum "transport related" ?


Not really. It is tank related(!).

If you want to see tanks, it is world-class and definitely worth a
visit. Leaving aside any preferences about what exact things they have
in their collections, IMHO it's better as a museum than the French
equivalent in Saumur (between Tours and Angers); I've not done the
German one. There is a Russian one which is meant to have a good
collection but is difficult (impossible?) to visit.

But if you want transport, then Bovington is probably not a priority.

There was a dedicated Museum of Army Transport but a) it was on a branch
line in East Yorkshire, so while technically feasible it was not
sensible as a day trip from London and b) it closed and was demolished
years ago.
