Here's a link to the Brockway Museum's website, unfortunately most of the pages there seem to be OOS, but the history is pretty detailed.

If you look at the actual cab, the operator/passenger compartment minus the nose, it is the same as the Mack "R". Mack did own Brockway, not sure when it was purchased. There was a contract dispute and Mack shut down the production of Brockway.
