On this truck the firewall is not indented and the roof is not all steel so I know it's not late '31. Also the cowl band seems to be painted, not stainless. Is the difference in the wheels how much hub lip there is?

Wheels you can tell by a raised bulge near the bolt pattern (look at the front left VS the front right - you can see it)
Yes it does appear to have a BB rearend mated to the AA frame - if the welds are solid go thru the brakes and drive it as that setup! 99% of the people you will meet with it wont know any better :P
