I only see a reinforcing plate on the inside of the joint. This is the original design of the mitred joint and has served apparently without any problems on all of the trailers with 4" tall frames.

The reinforcing plates (on the inside of all mitred joints, plus retrofitted on the outside of the joint to 3" frames) are for the joint. The cracks in Steve's (and Richard's) trailers are further back, beyond these plates... and only in 3" frames, unlike the 4" frame of the 21'.
