The Ford Barn

As is common knowledge, Ford Australia offered a Coupe Ute in 1934. It wasn't until 1957 when Ford of USA offered a similar constructed vehicle. Ford's 1934 Ford Coupe Ute is claimed to be the first Ute constructed with integral cab and body, as you can see is the attached photos of this Barn Fresh exhibit in a Museum.
However, back in 1931, Ford in the USA offered a Model A Deluxe Ute, as depicted here.
While the body appears to be attached to the cab, can anyone advise if it was indeed attached, or whether it was separate?
If it is indeed attached, that means that the Australian 1934 Ford Coupe Ute was not the first of this body style.
What are your thoughts on this subject?
