Thanks. The trailer pictured is an American-built 1-ton 2-wheeled cargo trailer, commonly known as the "Ben Hur Trailer" (see pic below).
The Canadian 20-cwt trailer was in some roles the equivalent of this trailer, although the US 1-ton trailer was also used in various roles by Commonwealth units.
