Hello, just recently picked up a very good condition 1996 Pribbs M101A3. All of the data plates are unrecognizable other than the stampings. I've searched and found a blank plate for the frame, just need the 2 cargo plates. I have pictures off a newer one that I almost bought, and have been in contact with Greg at dataplates.net. He has 2 files for the A3 trailer but the numbers are completely different. Can I get some insight on this please? Which plates are correct? Did the info change over the years? I'm going to have him make plates for me just want to sure he uses the correct info! Here are pictures of the plates from a trailer I was looking and vs the files he has....thank you! imagejpeg_0(6).jpg

The plates on your trailer are correct.
Yes the numbers changed for mission/unit requirements, modifications (like in your picture), etc.

I don’t own an A3 but all my trailers have the same issue. Pics of replacement plates for sale never or rarely match up with what’s on mine.

Thanks for the response, the pictures of the tags on the green trailer aren't mine but the ones from a trailer I was looking at buying...mine are all silver now! Ok, so I'll get with Greg and see if he can change his file to match the numbers to the plates on the green trailer. Thanks again!
