Not sure what kind it is but it is not a Spen. The stake holders are not the same, the axle is wrong, tailgate, and basic shape of the trailer does not match

It's a cool one what ever it is! Your local DMV might be willing to inspect it, and after finding no numbers or markings, agree to register it as "home/shop built" and apply their own number.

OK ~ I finally had a day open to spend at the DMV. The DMV found a number located on the front left tongue of the frame. The number is: DR949929T
They ran a vehicle history report. The history report states that it is a 1942 Spen...?? right...???

Looks like your trailer is special!
SPCNS and BTM are explained in this doc. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/reg_hdbk_pdf/ch7_miscellaneous_originals.pdf |

By both your's and Russ' definitions it would be either "home made" or "made from parts" by someone other than the manufacturer of the parts. Could be constructed by a specialty firm from sourced parts. Rhino lining is up to you, I don't like it because it's such a pain to remove if at some future point in time you want to modify or weld something onto the trailer.

I've seen the style/type before but I do not know the manuf.
Its not home built or reconstructed, I'll bet it was the easiest to do to get it registered at the time.
