It's a "Trailer, 1/4 ton, No1 (Aust)". The description is variously given as a 1/4 ton, 1/2 ton, 8cwt or 2wh, or even a combination of the lot! It was a simple trailer able to be dismantled for shipping or air transport and was "made of commercial components".
The No2 was similar but made to carry stretchers.
The Nos 3, 3A and 4 were the Aussie Jeep trailers (made by Ford and GM-H (+others?)).
The No5 was the Land Rover Trailer of the 60s (The RAEME trailer wasn't numbered, just called a "Trlr, 1/2 ton platform".
The AWM has either a No1 or No2 in it's collection.
