Yes that typewriter was definitely made in Japan by Silver-Seiko (Silver-Reed). There are lots of these machines about here in England. Earlier ones were branded 'Imperial', and later ones 'Silver-Reed'. However, the ribbon cover on the British market machines is more angular and matches the rest of the casing. Your ribbon cover must have been specially made for Royal models only.
