This subject has been debated for years. While I don't have the official answer for which model of lantern goes in the guard on the lid of the K38 trailer, from my own experience this is what I've found.
I own many different models of WW2 and earlier US military lanterns, I have only found one that actually fits the lantern guard. And that's the Embury Model 150. I'm not saying that this is the correct one, but so far no other has turned up that fits.

Re: K38 lantern
Robin I have been told that the correct lantern is the Dietz Little Wizard. Have you tried one of those?

Re: K38 lantern
When I find one that has a military connection, I'll try it.

Re: K38 lantern
This is what happens when you get too much stuff. In another location in my collection I discovered a US marked Dietz Little Wizard and found that it is essentially the same size as my Embury Model 150. And yes, it does fit the K38 lantern guard.
