Need help identifying search light trailer.................

[MarkM]

I can't seem to find any info on the trailer itself. Any help would be appreciated. All I could find was the UK modified a US trailer for their searchlight but that would mean we had a searchlight for it.

Insert from above

This example of the second-generation searchlight was manufactured by the Strong Electric Company of Toledo, Ohio and delivered under contract in 1967. It consisted of two major assemblies, the searchlight with military designation MX-7999/TVS-3 and the trailer with military designation V-416/TVS-3. Together these two assemblies made up the Searchlight AN/TVS-3.
