Retro-fit?
Defo a bitsa job as the frame is black and should be red, has the right fairing as well
Frame should be Sliver @ that Age.. I guess could be a bargain for the right price..

Mines register 05 but is the same as that, black frame,late swingarm. Looks identical.

The guy says in the advert
"it have also converted it to a 749r rear end with genuine parts, ie: tail fairing and sub frame (not cheap at all to do)"

O5 is fine for that just not 03. Is yours a red bike or black? Never seen a red bike with black frame that's all.
As for 749r back end he only talks of the subframe and tail unit

Black forks as well, most odd
Ps the £3k price tag is also pretty odd

Searched for about 7 months til I found it. Had a starting fault which was the battery connection and the swing arm had a snapped off bobbin bolt init, little bit fury around the edges but shes cleaning up a treat slowly.
Another oddball

You often get "odd" models come up as the factory switches over from one model to the next - they use a "Just In Time" sourcing practise for parts, so if they have a set of forks fail, they may well rob a set from a higher spec model that is in the next production run and backfill that instead of waiting for a replacement set to arrive.
We've seen it many times at the factory with things like shocks, forks, brake calipers, etc!
