Not sure if this would be easier to fabricate having just a flat floor built onto a chassis rather than the extra detail in the other pattern although the other way could be hidden under a canvas cover
Would also depend on what size steel merchants carry here in Australia.

Many thanks

Eben,

The British 10 cwt Lightweight No2 trailer was approx 150mm longer than the original "airborne" No1 MkI and MkII. Some say it was used in WWII but no photos have yet appeared that I have seen, the earliest I have is from Korea.
It might be a little easier to make, but if you are going to go to all the trouble I'd stick with a No1 as used here:
