The proper term for them was "security cage". As Chris mentions, they were used on some SEVs, but also were for cargo trailers used by CQs. The cages from the M101 3/4 ton trailers could be easily transferred to the newer LSVW trailer, so not all the cages may have made it to the surplus market.
Similar cages were available for the 1-1/2 ton trailers, the 5/4 ton cargo, the MLVW, and the LSVW. They are nice in that they support the tarp better (so no pooling of water and leaves on a sagging tarp), and you don't have to replace the wood slats and bows every 5-10 years.
