No...that looks like a M1969 uniform. The Jubilee medal ribbon (issued on 1978 is the give away here.
The colour on the M1958 uniform was also a darker shade of olive than the M1969 uniform and as Shawn says, it was made from thick heavy wool, not the thin stuff used on the M1969 uniform. Also, the shoulder boards are M1969 rather than the softer M1958 shoulder boards - also the rank stars are gilt aluminium rather than brass which was used on the older uniforms.
