Iltis and M101. Ready for Coe Hill

That is a M416 trailer not a M100. The differences are there, but the angular fenders are the first giveaway.

But, that is a surefire great place to lug around cases of Service Pub books and pamphlets!

Made by Dew Engineering and clearly marked as M101. What is an M416?

The trailer is a M101Cdn2. The Cdn 2 is important because that is what seperates it from a 3/4 tom M101.

The M416 is the matching trailer to the M151 series of jeep. (yeah I know, a mutt ain't a jeep, but it is.) They have the same rectangular fenders as the M101Cdn2, but had the wheel pattern of the Mutt.

Thanks for the clarification Rob. My evidently unsophisticated operating premise has been:

the M100 is a Canadian 1/4 ton trailer from the 1950s, recognizable by its rounded fenders and contemporary to the M38, M38A1 and M151;
the M101 is another Canadian made 3/4 ton (or similar capacity) trailer from the 1980s and onward, recognizable by its high "truck" stance and heavily reinforced box; and
the M416 is a 1/4 ton trailer for the Iltis, surplussed in the last few years and distinctive by its angular fenders and warning triangles on the rear panel.

This discussion is ruining my reputation for never making mistakes. I now have to suffer the indignity of admitting to a second mistake in my life. (Oh, the shame of it all .... )

I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
