Is this the same horn as a Yamaha 103?

I think it is. Maybe someone else can say for certain.

Since Yamaha makes a lot of Holton horns, I would say I was almost 100% sure.

It is a Yamaha 103 copy. Most of the parts are interchangeable. Yamaha made brass instruments labeled Holton and woodwind instruments labeled Vito. Many of the Yamaha made Holton models have an R at the end of the model number, BB662R and T602R. They will also be stamped JAPAN on the valve cluster.
Now Holton brass is produced in Brazil by Weril and is pretty good.
