This question came up on another forum, so also sharing info from David Hayward's book on Pearson's of Liverpool here.
This text is not entirely correct: 1-ton trailers were not used with Jeeps, nor was the "F60B converted to SP units and the trailers re-allocated for further use" - the F60B was a SP unit from the onset.
