Yes, and it is also referred to as the "Sport" model as I recall. I believe it pre-dates 1971 a bit and was Browning's concession to GCA 1968 that prohibited importation of small handguns that didn't score enough "points" to allow continued importation. Additions included those horrible stocks with the thumb rest as the lengthened barrel and added sights didn't add enough points.
