Cliff, Fifth wheel couplings were not used a lot in Australia until the early 1950s. Most of these trailers were permanently attached to their prime movers. This pic is of a Blittz trailer coupling on a trailer in John Belfield's yard in Melbourne. The square steel frame in the centre of the photo would be bolted to the chassis of the prime mover.
