InsideEVs did an article that linked to this thread, mentioned
@Wildabeest and included our observations.
Rivian released lots of photos and videos of R1T prototype trucks winter testing. A Rivian Owners Club forum member with a keen eye spotted something neat.

They also added some other details:
"It's hard to tell if the wheelbase is smaller because of the angle of the photo. Extended cab body styles tend to have shorter wheelbases. Also, I wish the bed of the truck came out in the photo because extended cab trucks usually have longer beds.
If the truck wrapped in white camouflage is an extended cab body style, it shouldn't be much of a surprise. It wouldn't make sense for Rivian to developed just one body style for the
R1T truck. Extended and single cab versions are very likely.
Or could this truck be one of the smaller trucks that Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe talked about in a
recent interview with MotorTrend:
"The R1 family of vehicles comprises the halo products, but lower-priced models are being planned. Scaringe says there's a whole slew of products to follow and the naming convention will continue, which means next up would be an R2 series of at least two smaller electric vehicles to coincide with the smaller platform they will ride on, then another platform for R3.
Rivian has not shown any of the future products, but the company is oriented to adventure-type trucks and SUVs. Executing means additional production capacity, different form factors, and different price points and markets, Scaringe says. It is reasonable to assume similar body styles but in different sizes."

Another good read here too.
After releasing test footage of its R1T, Rivian appears to have a possible extended cab version in the works.
