They are the same.

Fenders, hood, grill, and running boards change, but are the same for the 1.5 and 2 ton.
The GMC trucks bigger than 2 ton have larger fenders and such, and eventually, the biggest ones everything is different.

I can't quite tell from your pictures, but it is definitely a 1947 or 1948 Cab. Does it have a parking brake assembly on the left side or did this one have a floor brake next to the transmission? I think it is the 1948 cab.
