Looks pretty similar... Grand Luxe seems to be pointing in the right direction. I would also think that chrome on the fork and the rearend points to higher grade bike.
That seems to be a good analysis; lugs fit.

I note the bike in the original post does not have a chrome fork crown, it looks a bit like it could have been painted over.

The ebay bike is obviously of more quality, quite a few of these Astras came out. This one seems to be lower quality of which quite a few are around: https://madison.craigslist.org/bik/5340639770.html
