By the data plate, it is just an M416, with M-151 rims. However, I think =
the rims are a little different. There is a rubber type spacer between =
the lug nuts and the rim and the rims are extremely light. I believe the =
military experimented with aluminum alloy or magnesium rims and I think =
that this has them. I was at one time going to put M-38 rims on it and =
round fenders to closely resemble an M-100, but there are enough unusual =
things about it, that I will let it be as it was and tow it behind my =
M-38A1 anyway. Most people will never know the difference.

Evidently it was somewhat unusual. It is two long entended squared-type
ovals that are attached underneath to the frame, one front and one rear.
The ends are then bowed upward. They sit out far enough that when slung,
the straps don't fold the trailer's sides in.........

Is it possible that you have the M416-B trailer that was made exclusively
for the Mitey Mite???? I've only seen one and it had these lifting loops
from each corner that were noticabley different from the garden variety
M416. I believe the M416-B trailer used the same wheels as the Mitey Mite
(M422) which are noticebly dished further out and have larger vent holes =
(or
whatever they are called) than the M151 wheels. I think the bolt circle =
is
different as well.
