Entirely possible.

The listing Vince Piggins provided to Super Chevy in 1981 did not list all the re-assignments for the 37 returned Gibb cars. Govans was not on the list.

#1 is in The Brothers collection. Looks to be Fred Gibb on the left.

Judging by the '72' in the dealership window the photo was taken in 1972, when Jim Hayter owned it. May be him on the right.
