I know these were Ford truck parts, but IIRC they had a Pontiac part number. Is that right?
Correct - Ford truck parts with a Pontiac part number. There was also a Pontiac part number pulled for the "hole" in the hood.

I cannot speak for the cheese cars i haven't touched but i do know that since it was a pontiac part # they were probably all the same. the union park did have one at one time but not as it was delivered to harold ramsey, and thats how i decided to restore it.
The Royal car has a unique (homemade) scoop, more triangular in shape that the regular SD scoop.
