Maybe, but not necessarily.
Dave, you have made me re-think my original assessment.

The catcher is not original but a well-made replacement.
For the first four years - 1966 to 1970 - the Imperial was
identical to the Morrison. For the next two years, changes
were made to the 4-stroke Imperial. After that, more changes
were made with the introduction of the 2-stroke Imperials.

Victa moved away from the original Morrison design, as Morrison
had done with the original Ransomes Mk 7 design.

I don't know what the paint scheme for the Morrison was.
I'm happy to investigate further.

Apologies to exfarmer, I am now less certain blush
