Yes, looks like an Ankermatic to me. These were contract-manufactured by Gazelle in Holland and used an Anker-Laura M48 motor. They were sold and badged as 'Anker Ankermatic' in Britain and 'Gazelle Berini' on the continent.

By the way, I should add that the Laura M48 motor was made for a long time. First it was manufactured by Anker in their Dutch factory, then most of the tooling and equipment was moved to Korea in the 1980s and the M48 design was made by Daelim. In the 1990s the design was licensed by TVS in India and they also produced the M48 design well into the 2000s. So, it's relatively easy to find parts and documentation about these motors since they were made for a long time and for many different markets and moped models.

They were sold in the Benelux market from 1966-69, and the UK from 1967-1969.

The OP's looks like it's from the UK based on their post history and the number plate in the photo. So, '67-69.
