The KL towed the gas welding trailer, as a companion to the kit on the KL. Hard to say if the trailer shown in the photo is the servicing trailer or the gas welding.
The Canadian forces continued with the lube servicing trailers on the M series of trailers, and right into the 90s. They have pretty much been removed from service now I believe, but in the old days every unit seemed to have one. I may have a parts manual for the lub servicing units from later models, which I suspect was similar to the wartime unit. Evidence of the similarity could be found in the lube kit which came with the trailer, and included the button style grease gun fittings like bren carriers used.
There is a photo of the trailer in use on page 207 and of the back contents of the trailer on p 208 of "Europe WW2" by Bill Gregg.
