Hi fpw,
Standard bar up to 1600, heavy duty up to 2300 in my little white book.

We originally had a standard system but found we were going through rear tyres as the weight was noy distrubuted evenly enough. Have just put on a heavy duty system and towing like a dream. G&G

With a total tow weight of 1300Kg the standard 1600Kg tow bar with an appropriate WDH to match the loaded ball weight should be quite sufficient.
If however it's the TARE that's 1300Kg then a Heavy duty 2300Kg hitch Receiver and WDH would be required.

Its always better to err on the side of safety go for the heavy duty bar and a good quality weight distribution hitch, we use Haymen Reece tow bar and WDH.
