Possible Army/RAF caravan?

Welcome to the forum,
It doesn't look like any RAF ones, from the 60's they were mostly squareish. ,
This could be an interesting thread.
When I finished my Apprenticeship at RAE Bedford, we had a caravan to take the free flight model of the MRCA, which turned into the Tornado, and it was a fully turned out workshop pulled by a short wheel base Landrover. Great times.

Like Hutch I do think an army one would be more square in shape. It looks like something just post war but my knowledge of models of that time is poor.
Those wheels look very big - somewhat like the inner wheel of a trucks rear set-up from when they all used twin rear wheels - so a self-build on a goods trailer looks possible.

This is a model of a RAF dispersal caravan from the 1940s.
The caravans were used by ground crews to shelter from bad weather.
Edit:
An old abandoned army caravan now covered in graffiti

Agreed, its too well maintained.
The NATO ring.
Without seeing t'other side, it does have a look of an old WRVS tea shop. Have a quick shufty inside, see if you can find Flo and Doris.

I was trying to figure out what that old hitch head is. Looks like a very old Bradley or maybe SPP.
