Yes it is, looks alright in the police livery.

Looks like a UQ vehicle from behind.

Not quite. UQ*** vehicles have the diagonal chequerboard to the rear sides, that comes up over the top of the tailgate, with 2 lines of orange/red.
AV250, being a Fremantle Major Crash car, has the horizontal chequerboard around the body and across the tailgate, with one line of red.

Yeah just tried to get some shots of the more "rare" police vehicles. Saw a few Rangers out and about in South Perth dishing out parking tickets but didnt get any photos unfortunatly.
