Does anyone know about this trailer?

Hi, I've had this trailer for many years, here in Argentina. Could it be a "Ben Hur" trailer?

Converto dump trailer. Not a Ben Hur.

Not a Beh Hur or a Converto (front wall is different and no release mechanism, tailgates different (no bottom release) plus teardrop fenders.
Looks like a post war trailer with the flared fenders and tailgate, plus the spare tire holder on front.
Nice trailer, keep searching.

Hello, thank you for your replies.
The truth is, I uploaded the photos because no one seems to know about this trailer. I think it was either manufactured post-war here in Argentina, for which there are no records, perhaps for the Navy... Or imported from somewhere, possibly in the 1950s or 60s. It was bought new by my father, who passed away a few years ago.
Thanks again.

Yeah, I just glanced at the second picture in your first post. W. Winget described the differences well. It’s a neat trailer though. Sorry about your father.

If that's the axel [photo 2] then it's most unlikely to be military.
How about the size of the lunette eye? Very small diameter.
I absolutely love those flared fenders. Style. Very nice. 8)
