Hi David,
I'm presently restoring an MBT trailer: it's a REAL MBT, I mean all pieces
are the correct ones as per TM, they have the original US marks, BUT the
data plate says it has been rebuilded in Italy in 1960 under the "Marshall"
plan!
In my trailer, also the panels are correct.
the only thing that is missing is the serial number below the left fwd
spring bracket.
have you taken pictures of your trailers ?
and...they are for selling ?
ciao
maurizio
