ID-historie from Chuck Lutz:
Your trailer went through the rebuild program in Japan the 229th Base ran
out of Oppama, Japan. After WWII, many vehicles were gathered up across the
Pacific and sent to this unit which employed Japanese citizens to rebuild
and refurbish equipment which was then used in the Korean War.
Much of what they rebuilt was also assigned to NATO forces and more than a few of
these ended up in Norway. The rebuild tag and the data plate use the SAME
rivets and the data plate may or may not be an original (from the factory) but
both were put on during the rebuild.
Transportation Equipment Company made 221 units.
