Nope, that's the deluxe version, aptly called Luxe. It was standard equipment on Rene Herse in the 60s.

The one shown is a Luxe Competition, it was the unit with the shorter cage.

There is some in the archives regarding these units.

I bought one for $14. Back in 1972. Still sitting in a box somewhere as I did not know it was not compatible with a Campagnolo dropout.

The chrome on them was very well done.
