A M101 may be a 3/4 ton trailer, but a M101 Cdn2 trailer is the 1/4 ton trailer.
Someone in the LCMM trailer office tried to give the new trailers an official sounding name back in the early 90s, but didn't know enough about the M numbers to do it right. Since the new Iltis trailer was a completely redesigned Canadian product, it really should not have had any M number assigned to it, and certainly not M101, nor M100.
M numbers are a US identifier, and while we will usually adopt their product number along with the Cdn suffix, especially where there are unique Canadian variations to it, I can't think of any other "all Canadian" equipment that we have assigned a M number to.
The M101Cdn2 tarps wil fit the M100/M416 trailers just fine.
