You're very likely right but I've seen them advertised on Ebay US as 2", 1 and7/8" and 54mm. Very confusing.
Is the one you've got with Gill or hidden in a secret place?

It's with Gareth. used to have it there for moving my boat when it was on the Yank trailer, over to the crane.
Are you aware that the yank system attaches differently? there's a ball, with a 3/4" dia threaded pin sticking out the bottom, which needs bolting through a bracket (vertical hole, rather than the two horizontal holes on a european hitch) I have a bracket that I made for my Shogun, which is probably gonna be the easiest way to make you an adaptor (it will need re-drilling to suit a std euro tow bar)

Git. Just hope that you're winning racing medals when you're as old as me.
This medal is my proudest possession. I can't remember what I won it for.

Ere ya go Mr Grinch, if your trailer turns out to be a 2-5/16" hitch, this is the kiddie for you.
I thought it was at Drivers, but I was wrong, I had it here, so will take it down today with me, and leave it with Gill.
