I expect so - here's one I posted earlier that definitely is:

Here's the latest spots from my travels around Lancaster. The forlorn-looking Bluebird is actually taxed and tested!

Green tag on plate would suggest it is.

This bad boy. I will point out I was in a building at the time this photo was taken.

Took this with the highest quality camera and... Why are Tesco using a Panda Cross to advertise the shitty pressure washer?

Was just driving behind this. 

Didn't have any idea what it was, bit before my time so googled the plate and this photo came up from 53yrs ago.

Thanks. Bit of Googling looks like both sported these (GKN?) made alloys - Aggro maybe 13" and the Wedge 14".
The Allegro Equipe moniker shook some random neurons and I think I recall one of those in the front window of the Stranraer BMC/ Leyland showrooms for some time in 1979/80

Fair do`s.. I seem to remember the Allegro ones had a reputation for going porous.

I found a couple of forums/threads about the Equipe and porous alloys - I think there was a 'thing' back in the day about alloys being porous/brittle and you should always buy steel? I remember a Triumph 2500 pi being pointed at as 'no good' alloys.
There's a nice read here: https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/austin/allegro/equipe/

and https://www.vpoc.info/ambassador has some rather nice sales stuff like https://www.vpoc.info/ambassador?pgid=kybngxiw1-0678c63a-209d-4d8c-b3a6-b479f276215e
