Nope that's an alloy body. If you look at the nicks in the body and the discoloration of the body is the same front and back. Plastic discolors differently than plastic. This one also has L..J.Simplex cast into the body which I think (and could easily be wrong) the L.J. was dropped on the plastic bodies.
