Can you identify this tow setup?

I'm thinking about buying a used Jeep and it's got a tow setup.
Can you identify the brand in the attached photo?
Can you tell if that wiring plug is just for brake lights? Or maybe for an integrated electronic brake controller?
Thanks much

Looks like the link might me not quite right, if not, here it is: https://imgur.com/WKEQtAp

    Well,
    Apparently since no one else has mentioned it, I must be the only one that cannot see the picture you're asking about. All I get is a small colored block with some italics that have "image" in the middle of them. So, so much for me trying to help.

    It appears to be a Blue Ox baseplate (Clicky)

    The electrical would depend on what towing hardware is installed in the Jeep. Lights are a given, but beyond that it depends on the brand of brakes (if electrical) and if there's a charge line installed.

    The electrical is for lights only. Some aux brake systems use the lighting only for their braking systems.
    Not sure who's brackets. Could not enlarge enough to read lower right corner of orange tag or the numbers stamped into cross bar on right side nor could I read the small plate.

    It looks like running lights, turn signals and ground.
