Hi Ron, long time no hear.
Thank you for reply and links, but unfortunately the links don't work, maybe too old.
The history of my trailer is that 4 Dutch companies (NEKAF, Polynorm, Roset and the fourth that I don't remember the name of) manufactured post war trailers mainly for Dutch army, but also for other European NATO countries. Some 70000 trailers were manufactured up till mid 70th. They all were made from original American drawings from Bantam or M100. All dimensions on my trailer are identical with what I read from American specifications.
My trailer was manufactured 1955 by the Dutch company Roset, and have been doing service in the Dutch army. When leaving the army it came to Norway and finally ended up in Sweden 2019. I purchased it from a Swedish guy in February 2020 and finalised the refurbishment last week.
I purchased the canvas tarp for a small company in Gr. Britain and it seems to be the correct amount of ropes and eyelets. It have one "J" hook on the front and one on the back and 4 on each side. I have seen a lot of photos on the Internet how to tie down the tarp and the same amount on how to do it.
The old tarp that came with the trailer when I bought it had one rope going around to each eyelet, and to me it seems easier to release a small part of the tarp when you put some smaller things in the body.
Following are pics on my "equipage".
