Might have had a different front clip swapped on, and they didn't switch emblems ? Or they needed replacement emblems and couldn't find 1 ton emblems, since they are kinda rare.

Re: is this truck really a 3/4 ton?
Sounds like someone converted it to a dually. Measure the frame and you will know for sure.

no spid sheet on the inside of glove box door. original owners manual and odometer statement were there though but nothing to indicate options. sounds like the drw were added later.
