Default Found and looking for help Identifying

I was shown this trailer by a friend and acquired it after asking a few times for him to part with it. As sometimes happens I didn't quite think it through. It is big and heavy and I have no idea what it is for. Army green fever got me on this one. I suspect it was used for some specific purpose, possibly to haul an engineering bridge component. I have no real idea what I have.....

I'd guess a big generator on a skid.

And a closeup of the same page. Different manufacturer, but the same trailer I think. Shown in the 1954 FVRDE demonstration of British Military Vehicles.

Default Looks like a match.

Well now I guess I know what I have. Anyone know someone with a piece of bridge to move?
