Hi Neil,
I'd say pretty fair chance it is! Nice to see it still around.
Thanks

Not the same one, if you look at the reflection in the mirror of the back end this one lacks the solid rear hammer form areas of the first picture posted.

there is a chance that the original buck has been restored/repaired. in the original picture you can see the infill between the stations

either way they are both impressive

Bucks are nice but I have a video of a guy making a Monaro quarter panel from sheet without one. Of course skills like that are very rare!
