I had one the same years ago. The frame is the same as a MK2 lightweight trailer but has never had sides on. The bit on the back left corner is remains of a T that had a thread and large wing nut. I think there was one at each corner. Mine also had mud guards which were original by the layers of paint.
I rebuilt mine as standard MK2 with sides.
That’s interesting - would explain why I couldn’t find any evidence of sides - just a flat bed welded to the chassis? Any ideas on what the T and wing nut would be for?
I assume the presence of a number indicates British army use. I wonder how it was used.
Many thanks

I believe mudguards to be a later addition but ...

I acquired this trailer some time ago. been having a closer look and trying to workout what it is! Any thoughts/ideas?
For what it’s worth my thinking is
British airborne lightweight from dimensions - smaller than 10cwt. Looks like British army number ending ...6772? See photo
No 1 Mark 2 as has a rope cleat/ signs of rope cleat on lower chassis
Late war (?) from wheel type and and hitch ( resited below original position?) with draw bars.
Ive used Rob van Meel’s book, British army transport data book and internet sauces such as Frank Berg and David Gordon’s Visual Collector site.
Any ideas very welcome - hope photos help
