Bob, some of the M101 3/4t trailers were eqipped with an aluminum cage enclosure rather than the typical wooden stake sides and top bows.
The cage was made from aluminum tubing and covered in diamond mesh.
I believe most of these were engineering type trailers (stores), the lockable mesh construction protecting valuables as well as loose stock which could move and damage tarpaulins.
