Edit:
Just looked at Mike Cecil's excellent book, Mud & Dust and see that Corio built the trailers to a British War Office design. Maybe they originally had the round mudguards and changed them later as they were close fitting around the tyre and could get damaged. This explains a lot.

Once again Richard your knowledge and helpful direction is invaluable. Great points, one's I had not considered...will investigate through Mike's book.
Actually hoping he gets back onto this thread..
