Very Likey! Bodywork burnished then laquered?
Think I recognise the rear light unit as one I am lining-up for my Lambretta project: will discus a few critical dimensions with you soon if that is OK?
(Maybe some less 'retro-bling' grips and re-locate the tax disc holder as it spoils the curves?)

Cheers guys, more pictures on the thread above, started the thread in the wrong section so just carried on with it. The rear light cost around £15, the only thing is you need to cut a 20mm diameter hole to fit the light fitting to the scooter and two M5 holes for the bolts, twin filament bulb, I think 100mm diameter in total. I will post the link for the light when you need it.
Its 80/100 hours with wire brush on grinder and then its clear powder coat lacquer, didn't bother fixing welds, rust affected areas or dents, the old braising welds look excellent under the clear powder.
