Can anyone help me ID this trailer?

I came across this trailer for a very good price, but I am trying to figure out what it is exactly. In the back it has folding troop seats and inside the tailgate it has a fold down step. Also the front has a folding tailgate as well as the rear. I searched on line and I cannot find another one with this wide of a track or with the angled fenders. Any help is appreciated!

I've never seen anything like that before. The fenders look like they were added as an after-thought, not like original design. Are your sure this is a military trailer, and not something just cobbled together from parts, or a civvy trailer kinda "militarized" up a little bit?

In person, it does not looked pieced together. It even has 4 folding military cots in the back. The previous owner was a collector of military trucks and trailers. He died and everything was sold or scrapped. This is the last thing left.

Also, the only marking I could find was "M103" stenciled in white on the tailgate.

It doesn't look US. 5 lugs?

What do the tail lights look like? What do the reflectors look like?

Very nice find!

Use it like you only paid $200.00 and enjoy your good fortune .Side boards with seats in a trailer say it is built up from a multinational parts source.Very hard even for all the experts here to choose what it may be.

This sorta has the same idea as the M104 trailer, which was essentially a M105 1-1/2-ton trailer that had the front tailgate as well as rear, to allow the carrying of longer items if need be. Wherever this trailer came from, the builders wanted that option as well.

It looks like a m101 3/4 ton trailer frame with a custom bed on it. I dont think that the army bought trailers with dimond plate and the size of the hinges on that tail gate says custom to me. Are those combat rims off a Dodge WC?
