Thanks to the data tag info gathered, we do know of 2 Breakaways built on Gillig chassis.
9008-3687-34BG-1B and 9311-3889-30XG-18B. You might be on to something, Kris.

The rubber splash guard around the wheel openings is found on most diesels from late 80s on, wether Spartan or Gillig. This looks like approx.a pre 1990 diesel since most all from 90 thru to the "modern update in 95 have the moulded rubber cushions on the ends of the bumpers.
It also looks a lot like the 34 foot Oshkosh/Ford 460 gas pusher we looked at in Quakertown Pa. IIRCC that one was a 1989 and even had 22.5" wheels.

It looks like a Gillig Chassis; standard width, CAT diesel and the non-chrome bumpers are different from the Regency (at least mine). The front grille says generator but the front side grille could suggest a remote radiator or condenser for the ac. Looks shorter than my 32, but the style of the body aluminum, doors and trim are just about identical to Nick's and mine.
