These 6 wheel trailers are called 7.5ton light recovery. i have owned 3 over the years. they are not uncommon in the UK. i know where there are 2 still laying on farms. There is somee great footage on how they are used on an old British Army recovery training film from the war, it shows the troops winching a carrier on the back of the trailer.
There were 3 differet marks all with variations on the brakes.
I my view they are not worth the effort of towing one, best place for one is in a museum .
