Possibly - the M is right. The rest I can believe would vary with him signing it quickly.
I notice that the seller has several for sale (though I only see 4 of the 12 mentioned, I guess the rest have already been sold or are yet to come). They all look similar, but none looks quite like his usual signature (the way the 'old' part of 'oldfield' is written is very unlike the way he signs it when he's writing more carefully).
I would actually think that they're probably genuine - most forgers would probably try and make it look as much like his standard signature as possible, rather than doing a scribble which looks a bit suspicious. It's highly likely that they were just signed extremely quickly. However, the signature forgers out there no doubt rely on people thinking that...

) - that's at least the way a lot of autograph collectors manage it. The signatures would then be done in a hurry, and probably with tired hands too (Mike would also probably have been wanting to get back to his dressing room/limousine/hotel for a beer, and not stand round all night signing LPs! ).
