Your English is fine. Photo's if you have them would help with trailer ID.

That ACM number is 934 higher then the ACM number on my Oct 1942 MBT so yours is likely from Oct (or possibly Nov) 1942

Yes, almost all parts are original. I'll take pictures of the rest of the parts and number soon

Thank you very much for the help

PS: an exact day when this was produced can't be determined?
Was the month/year or day/month/year on the nameplate?

grettings Denny

Hello Denny
Denny,

I have a small database of trailers (chassis numbers, serial and D.o.D.

Willys MBT ACM# 13092 serial (on dataplate) 10968 date of delivery 10--42 and etimated registration number U.S.A. 0168533
Willys MBT serial number 11020 is also from 10--42
Willys MBT ACM# 16099 serial 13021 is from 11--42 and has registration number U.S.A. 0168843


So between 13092 and 16099 are 3000 in difference on the ACM number and only 300 on the U.S.A.
A strange incline of numbers, but there are more "random" changes in number series.


Hope it helps
Remko
