It appears that the tee you describe as near the master cylinder is a
fitting on the master cylinder.

I have an assembly manual for a '54 Chevy, and most things in it seem to be
accurate for my '55 1st GMC.  After working on this I dug out the manual and
decided the pictures looked like what I was seeing.

I was initially surprised to find two lines at the master, but since its
only got one reservoir, and since it looked like both lines were pressurized
by the same piston, I assumed this was typical.

My thought was that GM saved a few coins by only running one line to the far
side of the truck, and a few more by combining a tee with the fitting on the
master cylinder.

However, its almost 50 years old, and I own it, so everything could be
wrong....  Come to think of it, I'm getting old too, and maybe I can't see
straight anymore...
