It was not only not the original front cap, it wasn't even an option at the time. Your front cap was replaced by a year 2000 front cap. Newell offered cap upgrades after the new cap was introduced on #538, the last 1999. So it originally came with the 4 rectangular Ford pickup headlights that had been used since 1990. Many folks refer to the 2000 front cap as the smiley face. The night time forward visibility was much improved with the small round lights over the four Ford pickup headlights.

Interesting, we own #538
