That would be a new one on me, unless perhaps the paint scheme was changed part way through the production. I have only seen locally applied patterns in western Canada, and usually lacking the olive drab as that color was phased out in the 90s. Any chance you could get that photo from DEW posted?
I know there were some recalls early on for these trailers. The wheel bearings were one of them. These little trailers were neglected in regards to their servicing, especially since there was no recording of their maintenance by CFR, but rather it was by a group EMC for 1/4 ton trailers. As such, it was hard to know when they were repacked last. I got caught by that fact this summer when preparing to go to Huntsville for the convention, and a last minute check revealed a disintegrating bearing. We ended up leaving half a day late so I could get to town and buy bearings and seals.
Tip to trailer owners: you cannot judge the condition of the inner bearing by the outer bearing.
