They should have followed regulations, but there is plenty of pictures that show how they did not. One neat marking is the shipping data stenciled on the side, that is sometime seen. Overdoing the stenciling on a trailer is in my opinion worse than doing it on a Jeep. Following regulations, the side star should be forward of the fender. A star on the front panel was only prescribed after a change in 850- S regulations, that I cannot remember now, late in the war for sure. As an exemple of a trailer field marked,not following the rules, here is my 45 Bantam.

Re: Shipping data
Colour video - about 1.30 - details on the back panel??
Might just be something chalked up for the owners of the kit inside?

There's definately something on the passenger side of the two Jeeps with trailers as you view them from above driving in. Anyone want to hazard a guess?

So what did you plumb for in the end and where did you get the reference?
I'm thinking of the back panel like the photo from the liberator (Johann's) site
Cheers

Re: Shipping data

FYI....the trailer above is a Willys MB-T circa Jul/Aug 1943 with a serial number around 37500 +/-
The markings are possibly taken from the Bantam TM 10-1281
Overall dimensions:
Length:..............108 1/2"......(9 ft. 1/2 in.)
Width:................56"............(4 ft. 8 in.)
Height (Loaded).....40"............(3 ft. 4 in.)
Weight:
Maximum Pay Load (Capacity)....500 lbs.
Shipping and Road...................550 lbs.
Gross.................................1050 lbs.
Note that it seems the trailer in the pic has all the details right, but they measured the TUB incorrectly (the tub has an INSIDE length of 72") it seems instead of the OVERALL length!
