I am not sure the Manacs were a M101A2, or even referred to as a M101 in official Canadian nomenclature. I always remember just seeing the words "trailer, Manac, 3/4 ton".
The main difference in the body is the wider wheel well extensions to cover those 9.50X16.5 tires. It also has the later style of tailgate latches. As you mentioned Chris, it does have the standard SMP surge brake (still used today on the LSVW trailers).
I also have one of these out by the quonset. Nice enough trailer, but in all honesty it has never left the yard.
