Default Restoration of Aussie jeep trailer

i bought this trailer in 1978and has waited arround 'till now for reastoration.THE YEAR OF THE TRAILED VEHICLE COROWA 2013.The floor which has been replaced was rusted through and has now been removed. Thhe drawbar has been severly worked on with an electric welder has been removed and steel bought to make a new one.
As the mudgaurds are square and only come up to the start of the flare i presume it to be a #3.
There are no sign of army numbers, howevere there is the number 1334 stamped on the center of the square axle. i asume this to be the serial # of the axle and/or the trailer.
The towing eye is bolted to the underside of the towbar with 4 1/2 " bolts.There ere signs of welding on the apex of the towbar.and about half way along there ia a U shaped bracket and on the other side a piece of flat about 3 X 1 1/2" is welded to the other drawbar.

I will add photos as soon as i can get up to the thread.
