As these are so rare, one would have many degrees of freedom building a replica.

You may want to consider building your own trailer like the Canadian 1st Division did in Italy. I’ll look op the thread on here later, but basically they turned the back halves of GS trucks in trailers or built their own on any chassis they could lay their hands on.

I think the trailer on the pontoon bridge is actually the back half of a small motor van, like a Morris 10cwt or similar, might even have been made up before they left the UK
