Not really. P. compta has more distinct border between dark and light colouration, and the lines tend to be slightly curvy (sort of like the "flames" on custom cars, ish). Further, the lines end in a smooth curve just just above the bottom of the fish...

I'm certain this is a member of the P. vittata complex - there are around half a dozen more or less similar L-numbers in this group.
