Everything I know about cotton could be written on the back of a stamp. I've never seen a complete tractor mounted cotton picker in person, just photos. The ones I see around here and Grandpa's were strippers.
That clears up the pto delete. It looks like a factory plate.
Now supposedly, and this is just a story, but according to the present owner, the man he bought it from told him that it ended up never having had a picker mounted on it. I have no idea if there are any other characteristic wear patterns or marks that a picker might leave to add any credence to the story.
As for the hood decal, it looks like it was added after a repaint and perhaps was just whatever the dealer had laying around. I have no idea.
Now here's another mystery. You mention the standard dual front. It has the Z code on the hubs and the spindle mount has 1954 on it but the rear hubs are both Y code! Everything else is Z code. No telling!

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
