No, it's not. Please note the delta in hammers, magazine wells, and front sights. The one digged out of dirt has a big hammer, looks more like a LRH. Of course, that's guesstimation.

The so called "Shansei .45 ACP" is ....hard to put that appropriately without offending anyone, please forgive me first if you have a different view.... a gun to cheat collectors' USD. It has never been popular in China, only recently became a "historically important" variation, "only 8,000 were made!!"..... big deal? I think my friend commented it correctly: "If you have gotten every variation except this one, then it's may not be a bad choice."
