Different. The main pic is a TDA (tractor-drawn aerial; also known as a tiller). Tillers do not have any fire hose or pumps, but most newer ones have pre-piped waterways fed by an engine.
It's likely the engine behind it.

Kinda leaning towards Maxim. It has the same curvature as a Pirsch, but the grille looks like that of a Maxim (Pirsch's is horizontal versus Maxim being vertical). Some of the Maxims did have similarly-styled noses, but they began to feature quad headlights vs duals seen here.
