It appears so. Do you know what that engine is from?

Looks super cool and the proportions are spot on - just needs an American motor in it !

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_V-twin_engine


The engine was enlarged to 577 cc for the 1961 B600, which was built until 1966.[1] It produces 20 PS (15 kW) at 4300 rpm and 3.8 kg⋅m (37 N⋅m; 27 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3000 rpm. This engine is popular with custom motorcycle builders in Indonesia, who use it in a variety of frames to emulate the V-twin engined Harley-Davidsons.

Look at the welding on the bracket supporting the exhaust pipes!
