Would anyone have pictures other than in Jack's book on Wooden gas pump cabinets, and if they did exist? Have a picture of a Bowser like the one in the General Petroleum Museum.

Bowser probably made more than 15 different ones, I have a number of actual pictures of some that are not in the book.
Bowser is the only one that made cabinets like the one you pictured, Beman and Wayne made wooden outdoor cabinets for gas and oil.

Yes indeed they exist, I recently found a Wayne #9 second version. Its been stored inside for over 100 years and in perfect condition. It even says Gasoline down each side as pictured on page 306 of Jack's book. It still has the original Red Crown gasoline measuring stick hanging inside. still trying to purchase it from the bulk plant.
