Yes. Definitely a Swift. Ron's picture is of a Continental C-85 powered GC-1A. After a few hundred, the decided to use the Continental C-125, which was a big improvement, and designated GC-1B.
Hard to tell which the one you saw is. Airframes were virtually identical. It is likely a 46-48 model when Globe was building them, with Temco also building under contract. Globe later went under and Temco took over and built more 1950-51, IIRC. the rear windows and hat throw behind the seats was changed.
Here is my 1946 Globe Swift.
