It looks like it is.
I think a WG has about 12" of space between the outsides of the forks.
Assuming the headlamps are dual 4.5", and they fit between the forks (hard to say from this angle), that's at least 9" + 2 times fork width makes it greater than 12"

these are trees as wide as the wide-glide trees, but without the extra rake.

I thought I didn't like this bike when I first saw it. But this picture angle makes it look a bit better. Maybe it's growing on me. It does look like the trees are wide glide.
