I'd say that's definitely a Yoshi pipe. It looks identical to the one I had on my first 500/4 back in 1979. And, as mentioned above, I bought my pipes from Dixon Racing in Godalming. I also had a set of K&N individual filters. I recall that it took me a while to get the jetting right.
The Yoshi pipe made a lovely noise, but I remember that the part of the "silencer" that curls under the bottom frame tube reduced the ground clearance on that side, so I ended up wearing a flat spot on it. Happy days!
