Which one is the 1/4 ton? the one in TN? I am not real familiar with designations of the m101 series. I would like it to be lite so I can pull it on rare occasion with 4Runner.

The ones like this. They were made under several designations over about 40 years but they are all basically the same. The military rates them as 1/4 ton which is supposed to be their safe off road cargo weight capability. Double that for on road use. Those ratings, however, are very conservative. These little 4' x 6' trailers are tough.
I thought the 1/4T designation was related to flotation rating of these trailers for water crossings. Either way Bossman is right, and I'll add that the Canadian M101 and the US M416 are very similar, with most of the Canadian varieties being of newer and stronger construction.
The 3/4T trailers are the US M101A series and roughly 2X bigger, though I have towed one that had a rack and RTT fairly easily in my FJC.
The newest kid on the block is the aluminum tub M1101/1102 series, as noted above, and is fairly tall and more squarish in dimensions.

Thats your unicorn?
Hell no. it is the beginning of the unicorn. I got to build one I guess. There is a unicorn in ATL or IAH.
I like this one minus the JEEP badge but this is what I would like it to look like.

What nolen said about CoG; those trailers are inherently tippy in any sort of non pavement environment.

The more I think about it a Taco with a RTT, dog under RTT in the bed then pulling a boat trailer is maybe a good setup.
Where did you find that? Down by the river? Bottom of the pacific?
I bet there are no jap trailers left from the WWII era. That US metal was top grade stuff. Thanks but your a better project guy than me.
The Spec Ops trailer has to be built. It comes on a pallet and lots of little pieces.
