The M103 and the M105 are two completely different trailers. The landing leg on the one in the picture at WPAFB looks like a M105 to me.
I am no expert, and I could be dead wrong.

Well, I did say I could be wrong. I was thinking that the M103 was a variant of the M101.
My bad. sorry.

Another welcome from central Ohio. If that trailer is on a 105 chassis you will need to rotate the lunette to get it to ride somewhat level. I picked up my trailer with a ford excursion. The pintle hitch that had a 6" rise and it still was way low in the front.
