No. Anybody could order different front vs rear vs spare tires.
That's why the tire options are structured as "Xxx", "Yxx" and "Zxx" where:
X = front
Y = rear
Z = spare

If that is in fact the Oshawa assembly plant then it had been producing vehicles since the early 1900's.
The photo could be immediately after model change, or showing the two short repair lines that occur after the end of final/roll test. If that is the case then either the drivers haven't shunted any vehicles over to that side, or they are only working one line due to production volume (after hours or Saturday repairs).
They could be smiling because it's "time and a half" for overtime ("double time" for Sundays).
