Vintage Snipe Trailer - For Avon S400 Sportboat

We have just been clearing our parent's loft above the garage and have pulled down a vintage galvanised trailer for our Avon S400 Sportboat (4m). I'm guessing the trailer is from the mid to late 70s.

Photos will follow but it is a twin-tube central chassis with the suspension axel and two cradle cross-members with height-adjustable poles at each end and square, flat, four-hole mounting plates for pads/bunks.

At this point, it is missing anything to attach to those square plates and the dolly wheel and winch are hiding.

Just wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, if anyone might have any images of what it should look like.

I have attached a similar age/style of Snipe trailer and the details off the trailer.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks. That is the same central chassis, same suspension axle but ours has pads versus rollers and two additional cross members with vertical stays at each end.
