Yep, although only going by the photos, I believe this to be walnut too, albeit low grade/grain. Walnut isn't just bought for its cosmetics however, but for lightness (a lot lighter than beech) and reparability (if there is such a word ), as dinks and donks can be successfully steamed out of walnut but not beech .
