Hmmmm. Difficult one. It could be, but my first sense is no.... because: too few leaves at the size of the plant and too long with not quite the right shape and posture... However, I am by no means an expert, so my impression could be completely wrong, especially taking growing conditions into account - those appear to be relatively lush compared to A. parryi's normal habitat.
Also I do not immediately come up with a suitable alternative (my sense was A. Celsii 'Nova', but that one does not quite fit - leave shape and posture a better fit, but teeth quite a bit off)

This is one site to check out, it may help, but it may also confuse, lots of habitat and cultivation shots of the A. parryi family of plants though: http://www.agaveville.org/view...
I linked to Agave parryi v. parryi, but they have separate entries for the other plants and photo documentation for just about every other Agave. Some people who have seen a lot of Agaves frequent that site.
It is what it is!
