Default Gmc?

Could be a 1929 GMC T-19 1-ton with the Pontiac 6-29 engine then? Note the double-wheel rear axle that someone has added from another vehicle. Assembled by GM India, Bombay? I assume that the small T-11 and T-19 used the Pontiac front end...the heavier trucks used the Buick engine (both versions) of course. Well spotted! The reason I suggest Pontiac is that I think the 1927-29 Pontiac trucks were sold as GMCs but there has been discussion on the Canadian poncho Forum about whether they were badged as Pontiacs or not. My Branham's Guide should say if I can find it.
