i dont think so; i haven't personally examined the pics now since i don't
have them handy, but there are other scans, same lens:

note wood strips in ceiling before the brass thingy (drop down fire
sprinkler), they bow down
note "break" in tile in the floor, 1st from bottom edge, they bow up.

on a related note, is the following the same kind of distortion or is it
the so called wide angle distortion that makes things at the edges go
stretchy?

note round bottle/jug/whatever it is called at extreme right...it's not
round. note edge of shed at right, it is straight! what's going
on? cropped from left so you can't see it on that side.

thanks,
