Since trailer manufacturers used many different components, we have no idea what was used on a trailer.

The best way to find the right components is to pull the bearings and get the numbers off the bearings that may be stamped or etched. If you cannot find the numbers you will need a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 and measure the spindle where the bearings ride. Then measure the inside of the hub. I have attached a photo that shows where you can typically find the numbers on bearings and also shows where to measure on a spindle. Once you get those measurements let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
