I'm going to say that although they could have been dealer demonstrators, they may have just had the DeLuxe equipment option. Twin horns were also part of the DeLuxe package (at least in 1936 & 1937) And the 1937 looks like it may have twin wipers. I believe that the DeLuxe option was more popular on 1/2 ton commercial vehicles, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't available on bigger trucks also.

Anything to make a sale back then.
