It could be, certainly fin stabilised. The grazed entry wound does not have the slight rippling you get with a slowish RPG hit on an aircraft skin (although the fire and poor camera angle may be disguing them) but the exit holes are about right for an unexploded RPG, amongst other things. Outside of a random problem I would expect an S5 or larger to go bang in the geometry/structure above, but something like an RPG7 would not. There are no 'whiskers' around the entry point (often seen with glancing S5/S8 hits) either.
Anyway, whatever it was I am sure the crew are grateful that it didn't go bang. Soft skin and a grazing impact probably nicked the fuse off the nose of the projectile.
