Marc,
The LSVW trailers were all made under the watchful eye of Elvis at DEW. They had a bust of Elvis on the wall in one of the shops.
The panels were plated or chromated or some other such anti corrosion finish inside DEW. The panels were stitch or step welded together and did not have continuous welds, there was a seam sealer used in between the welds.
The wheels and tyres are the same as the LSVW from what I recall.
The one main identifying feature of the trailers is that they have a transverse stowage box across the A frame draw bar just in front of the box of the trailer itself.
In my collection of photos, deeply buried still, is a complete set of shots of the whole production line process of them being built. DEW granted me access with DND consent to record their manufacture.
It will be a number of years yet before I can unearth them.
