I have access to a pair of almost new, and very cheap, 900x16 pizza cutter tires but they are 900s, will they fit inside the Bantam fenders? I am not too worried about ride height as it will be towed behind a M1009, just wondering if they will fit. I need tired and the price is making these very attractive, IF they will work...

Well, everybody has an opinion. Here's mine.
I believe the 6.00 x 16 is roughly 29" in diameter. I had to look this behemoth tire up, and a website selling the 900 x 16 Superlug stated just over 36" diameter. That has to be factored in.
I think it will physically fit under the fender but it will ride a few inches higher (not a factor for you) but it will also have less spring compression distance meaning you will have to watch what you put in the trailer. This includes bumping and bouncing around. I reckon the leg will also need a block under it if you want it to sit level off the hitch.
Personally, I'd want a spare tire for my trailer. Not sure if it is a concern for you.

Looking at photos of my trailer before disassembly there appears to be enough room for another 7" of tire, and I think I can get three tires, I am going to give it a whirl, I can always change them if it does not work!
