Yes and no.

The front bumper should be original but the 4 holes/lights are aftermarket.

Having said that, it looks like a pretty good job.

Seems to have a stock look to me, but never seen them before.
Might be checking this one out on the weekend, if its still for sale.

Well, the stock doesn't have any fog lights.

Furthermore, at the angle of your second photo, it looks more like a photoshop job...

Eitherway, I think that it's a DIY job and the owner literally cut 4 holes into the bumper - not uncommon for NB8A/NB1 owners in the U.S.

i agree photoshop .. job looking.

Looks out of angle, not pointing the same way the car is.

I've seen fog lights inside the mouth of an nb8a though, just like the NA's do.
