Thanks for your question, Timothy.
Usually on a trailer plug the EB would stand for electric brakes and TM would stand for tail marker (or the running lights). Hopkins part # HM45MV and other similar plugs will have labels like this on them so indicate which pin is for what function.

Hey Timothy, did the info about the EB and TM labels help you sort out the wiring on your trailer adapter? Knowing what worked could help others trying to read those markings too.
