Who made the Ben Hur signal corps trailers ?

That question isn't quite as silly as it sounds.
I have a Ben Hur style trailer here, and from the drilling in the bed floor I can see that it has been a Signal Corps generator trailer - the sort that came behind the Chevrolet 1.5 ton signals truck and usually had the spare wheel underneath.
Mine doesn't have a manufacturers plate on it, so I was wondering which one of the seven or so manufacturers that made these trailers made the Signal Corps ones.
Ben Hur ( obviously ) Checker, Century, Gerstenlager, or one of the others?
If it was Ben Hur or Checker I might buy a repro serial plate for it.
