The tie rods may be mechanical brake linkages?

Based on the 15 and 20 CWT CMP trailer frames I've seen, the parking brakes are cable operated and the service brakes hydraulic (based on Ford parts same as CMP rear axles) so it would have to be a non-CMP sourced axle.
The trailer frame seems to have a reinforcement at the bend at the front of the body and may have an upward step toward the drawbar. Not standard CMP trailer features, does this suggest anything?

Grant, it is not a CMP trailer for sure. It is clearly made up from parts scrounged in Italy for the big trip North.

What comes to mind with me for some reason, Hanno, is an ex-German 20 mm Quad Mount Trailer stripped down with a CMP box added, but the wheels look too large.

Hmm... Sonderanhänger (l achs.) (Sd. Ah. 52). Indeed, don't think so, it sits lower.
