Bantam?? Cool looking but I've never seen one like this and anyone know anything about this trailer??

It appears to be a Bantam T3C trailer that has had a replacement front panel added at one time. 8)

Got any more pictures of it? It might be a Bantam, but a few bits are still throwing me off.
Frame looks wrong for a TC-3, the hitch is not stock, and the stake-sides incorrectly go all the way through the tub to the outside.
It could very well be one of a couple different copies made after WW2. If not it has been heavily modified.
