Ian:

I went back to the EDR Viewer and found the mfr`s SN range. (The ECC is 131101 if anyone else is looking.) There is a pattern with 53-71179 falling into a gap. CFR 71176 is #1182, 71178 is #1184 and 71180 is #1186. There is no listing for 71177 or 71179. If as Rob Love has stated, the EDR Viewer started with all vehs in service at a specific start date, yours would have been surplused (or stolen ?!?) prior to that date.

Is the Crown still interested in that trailer or its recovery? I strongly doubt anyone would know where or how to build a case. The benefit of the doubt is on your side anyway.
