Yes! Buck Jones did portray a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer ... twice! On the far left is Buck in BORDER BRIGANDS (Universal, 1935). He also wore the red tunic in McKENNA OF THE MOUNTED (Columbia, 1932).

Above is John Preston, with "Dynamite, the Wonder Horse" and "Captain, the King of Dogs" during his two starring roles as "Morton of the Mounted" in COURAGE OF THE NORTH (Empire/Stage & Screen, 1934) and TIMBER TERRORS (Empire/Stage & Screen, 1935).

Above from L-to-R are Noah Beery, Sr., Noah Beery, Jr., Wayne and an unidentified player in this re-release lobby card from THE TRAIL BEYOND (Lone Star/Monogram, 1934), one of Wayne's better films for producer Paul Malvern. THE TRAIL BEYOND is not a "John Wayne playing a mountie flick", but a Northwoods/Canadian adventure yarn. The mounties do come to the aid of Wayne at the end. Baddie Earl Dwire's role requires him to use a French Canadian accent ... and he does so ... poorly.

Above is a lobby card from WILDERNESS MAIL (Ambassador-Conn, 1935), one of the mountie adventures starring Kermit Maynard. On the left, Syd Saylor is wrestling with an unidentified performer (might be Barney Furey or Pat Harmon). Kermit is on the right pounding on an unidentified player. In the far right background and wearing the fur coat is Dick Curtis. Saylor and Curtis were gang members working for brains heavy Fred Kohler.
