I don't have any information available that would tell me which bearings your trailer used, but I can certainly help you figure it our for yourself.

Closely examine the old bearings, looking for a part number engraved on the bearing cage. Get the numbers off both the inner and outer bearing. If you can't read the reference number, you can use an accurate measuring device like a digital caliper to measure the diameter of the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride, as well as the surface that the grease seal rides on. I've provided a diagram that shows where to measure. To get the outer dimension of the grease seal, measure the inside diameter of the hub bore on the inside of the hub.
