I can't confirm for sure. Do you by any chance have any data on where it came from for example? (Country of origin is a start, a river in that country would be even better).

I can say for sure that, unless the fish was captive bred, it's from South America (ok, we have to "stretch" the geographic definition a little bit a tiny bit north of the Panama Canal), as all Loricariidae, and thus Ancistrus, are definitely only native in this slightly stretched definition of South America.
(LDA72)[1] is not exactly a unique body shape. Most of the Ancistrus have a similar body-shape to this.
[1] I prefer to use the proper scientific name for fish that has such.
