Cool spec sheet, but the ratio of driver diameter to rigid wheel base is off. 56" divers spaced as shown in the top photo would be a longer wheel base than 12'6". That's closer to the second and third photos.

I agree that the top photo is a standard gauged, narrow gauge design, Sure looks like standard gauge trucks on the tender (sun shining on the journal box lids), and the keyhole firebox doesn't seem to have much of a keyhole shape.
