I noticed a couple of things about that engine, both having to do with the air compressors. Every one I've seen in person (all one of them), and every one I've seen photos of, had the air compressors mounted on the smokebox, rather than on the side of the engine. The distinctive "wheeze" sound of the compressors is not there, as well.

If you look at Fallen Flag.org, under Southern Pacific, Steam Locomotives, and scroll all the long way down to 4120, which is the same batch as yours in the prototype, click on one of those images and see the pumps on the running board.
