No it's not and an 1800 has a very thin divider between the numbpad and the main section. We can't just call every keyboard with a compact arrow cluster and 1800. It's an 1800 when the numbpad is modified to accommodate the compact numpad for space saving. This design does not save any space. They could maybe inspired by in 1800 layout but it is not in 1800.

This is what 1800s are originally designed after.
