Joe Pa wearing GMT (Pepsi)?

First of all, RIP Joe Pa....what a great icon that Penn Staters will always remember!

I came across this photo - looks like Joe Pa wearing GMT. What do you think?

It looks like it, pretty easy to spot with a bezel like that.

There are several photos of Joe wearing a GMT. I want to say it's a 1675 judging by one photo I saw.
