Tugboat identification

Going by the list of tugs in the fleet of Pacific Towboat and Salvage Company at www.tugboatinformation.com, it seems like the Pacific Titan is the one. The Pacific Viking (ON 578376) and Avenger (ON 571211) are close, having also been built at the company's shipyard around the same time, but there seem to be some small differences -- particularly the hawsehole on the tip of the bow, and the shape of the ends on the four wings (pulleys?) extending out from the bridge and near the stern -- which point to the Pacific Titan.
