Previous owner used to run a (magic) roundabout? spring assisted probably a
builder who carried 3 tonnes of paving stones in the back

I seem to remember these as an optional extra - not sure whether they were a
factory option or after market.

Never seen one like that before. I have helper springs on my Series 11A, they do
nothing till the weight on the back is in excess of around 400 kgs. it does look
like a military, with no rear PTO hole in the rear chassis x-member.

I can only hope the white stuff all over the place is jenolite or similar
phosphoric acid rust killer that has gotten wet before drying out.

You got it in one there

It's amazing the cockups some people do, they look like they are off a car.
I've seen plenty with the rubber helpers though, I think they were called
'Autoballons' and they are also fitted on my Sankey trailer, probably the
only approved ones.

The rubber helpers are/were RTC8000 for a complete kit. Still
available about 2 years ago.

The rear crossmember is military. Who knows who added the coil - but
almost certainly it will not have been Land Rover even on a military
contract.

If my guess as to the origin of the springs was on the money then the white
stuff is going to be concrete
