Is it really an old F2 race bike

There seems to be some difference between the old b&w pictures of the tank and seat and the now pictures, the right gearchange would suggest it has a racing past though.

I have for sale a 1970 CB750K, It is now in road trim but it was raced at Daytona by Dick Mann in 1970 and won the race, I have pictures to prove this. £58,000 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Seems he changed out the nice shouldered alloy rims for stock steel ones as well.  Different tank and tail (although he says they're "original"), different shocks and exhaust.  But it's just GOT to be the same bike.  I mean, he has pictures!
