Hi Rob I've seen some of the trailers with a single large front landing leg and some with smaller dual wheels do you know if this was a retrofit for the trailers going to the dual wheel ?
Mine has the larger single wheel

There were two purchases of the 1-1/2 ton trailers in support of the MLVW program. I can't remember if both were manufactured by DEW, but it seems to me the front landing leg differed by which contract the trailer was provided on.

Default M104 Trailer

I believe the dual dolly wheel version is a M104CDN4.

The first contract with the Fred Flinstone wheel was made by Manac. The second contract with the dual wheels was made by DEW engineering. The DEW chassis were, ad Ed has mentioned, the M104CDN4 model.

Photo of the landing leg from the part manual attached.

Back to your original questions: the plug that will attach to the trailer is an amphenol plug number 60-4266-23P. (Also listed as a 60-04266-23P) The trailer plug mounted on the frame is an amphenol 60-42022-23S.
