What job did my trailer have?

I picked up my latest trailer today, a M116A2 with a M101 box on it, and it has some extra "stuff" on it, can anyone tell me what was in the bed? My first guess is a gennie, but the things on the outside and the round thingie behind the little tool box sort of look like antenna mounts. There are a lot of nutted bolts in the body that apparently attached things, and when the Army removed those things they filled the holes with the bolts.

My two guesses are Commo/Generator or Engineer/Generator trailer.

The two long marks down the center look like they were left by generator skids. I don't recognize any of the brackets. My guess is it was modified by a unit to be a non standard commo or special equipment trailer. Engineer like crazy guy said, or perhaps ordnance (vehicle maintenance).

I agree on the skid trails for the gen and the likely unit modifications.

Nice score on the fuel can nozzles! That should help offset the price a little.

What job did my trailer have?

It's PRIMARY FUNCTION was to follow the tow vehicle

I'll leave the "dedicated use" aspect of the question to the "experts"

I found another clue, the painted over unit markings. These guys were simply the last to use her, so who knows who did the mods...
