Bet if you went across a set of scales (loaded as you were) you will find a big difference in axle weights on trailer.
I've seen those temps but not on a cool day.
Check your brake adjustments also
If its a tandem axle trailer, there won't be any difference in weights on the axles, no matter how its loaded.
You are correct, assuming they are leaf spring axles with an equalizer. If they are rubber torsion axles (quite common) and the trailer is out of level you can easily have more weight on one axle. When going over a large bump a tandem set of rubber torsion axles can have the entire weight of the trailer on one axle.
