Interesting... What is the NSN on your Mfr. data plate? What about the GVW and curb weights? How about the 3rd character of the VIN? Anything is possible and I can see them doing it if they didn't have any M1031's available, but what's the point of just swapping t-cases and driveshafts if...

319,
The M1028A1 is a converted M1031 (at least every one I've seen), so it's really the same.
The Dodge body didn't require the PTO (driven by the NP-205 of the M1031), so you could really put it on anything, including an M1008, but as JohnFire said...

M1009 payload = 1200lbs. = 3/5-ton
The M1009 rating is...
