I have this engine and I believe the pilot truck may be the wrong one.  The engine has the blackened handrails, Baldwin disc drivers, and the rounded cab floor in the back.  Here are a few pictures.  I believe the front pilot is supposed to be cast but mine is not(rear truck is cast) and the rivet used to connect to the plate does not look original to me.  The headlight mounting looks correct but notice the wear area right behind cow catcher, is that from the wheels themselves?  

I bought this years ago before I knew much at all and I finally was investigating this since I am interested in selling it eventually. It's a great runner but let's face it, it's not a beauty.  Thanks for any help.  

Note second wear area:

Better shot of the two wear areas.

Note Cessna O-2 in background, now on back burner!  I did some naval gunfire spotting from these out of Nha Trang in II Corps spring of 68.  Targets we got were lousy.  A long time ago!
