Interesting...
I've found the original data plate after a deep search..as it was stolen by
the previous owner...
in my trailer's plate there is no REBUILD reference..."Ricostruito" in
italian language..BUt there are reference to a US contract..but I wasn't
able to find sources for such a contract.
I guess that this particular trailer was really BUILT in Italy, under the
Marshall Plan Aids (I've found the glue shapes on the panels where the
paper sheets were)
http://space.tin.it/io/maurbere/foreign_aid.jpg
with ORIGINAL spare parts.
All these parts, from panels to the last small piece are 100% original US
as per TM10-1230.
I think that in these trailers recently found in Norway and in Belgium ,
our friends might investigate on panels searching for traces of paper shapes.
In your message, Antoine, you will find also the data plate details attached.
