Hi Adrie


It probaply had a registration number like all trailers have and a
few (invasion)stars. Unit numbers are more common for
vehicles, but also seen on trailers. You should take the unit numbers of the
104th like the numbers on your cckw.

Registration number is identical for each trailer and type.

BTW How far are you done with your restoration???

If you are still in need of reflectors let me know, Iam going to Esch within
2 weeks.

Hoi Corné,

Alles goed.

I have some pic's for the markings that is no problem .
What I need to now is which unit markings can I use.

Not signals because it is not a closed trailer.
There was a smoke generator on board ( M7 ) but I do not have that machine.

So it have to look as cargo trailer.
Who used a cargo trailer like this one ?
Ordnance, Engineers, Infantry, Quartermaster

Corné we stay in contact.

Hi Adrie

Well I can imaging that all units could use such big trailer :D
But I would go for the Ordnance company, because they do
maintenance. And your Set 7 truck is also a maintenance truck.

This should be your unitnumber or something like that

left side:
104-804 O

right side:
A-10 or MT-10

Best regards, Corné
