I believe so. A chain driven model would be a Mack AC, but the shaft driven model would be a Mack AK. The fender obscures the easiest way of locating chain/shaft.
There's something behind the cab that looks like a chain mechanism so I presume that would mean it's chain driven. Defaulting to a Mack AC.

Also what's up with these?

/vehicles.php?make=Mack&model=AC+Bulldog&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on

Three Mack AC's listed have "bulldog" in their name. As far as I'm aware this was just a nickname given to them. It's not actually related to the model itself.

I moved the 'Bulldog' name to extra info then ;)

Here are some additional images of the truck's cab from ep 1.11. Perhaps they show some helpful detail:

Mindless note: the truck is used heavily by the villain over the first 15 or so minutes of the episode. After that, possibly the same truck is used and seen as part of the convoy in a handful of shots.
