Hello Elvis,
Yes, that is the one. With such an engine and cockpit change it is hard to see its ancestry, but it is there.
Also worth noting is that for the Yak fighters with the M-107 / VK-107 engines, they tend to have their carb intake on the top of the cowling. They CAN be found about halfway between cockpit and propeller, but more often the scoop is closer to the propeller at least in photographs I have seen. I do NOT stand by this conclusion because it is just photographs I have seen and may not represent the numbers actually produced.
I have attached a couple photographs for comparison.
I guess what the profile photographs really show is that they are pretty hard to tell apart from the side which isn't surprising because the lengths are almost exactly the same.
The Wings of Yak-3 are considerably smaller though.

This is the Yak-3 with a Shvetsov M-82 Radial engine. Looks pretty much like a Yak-11 but much more power.
This is a Yak-3 with a Klimov M-105 engine. Note the clean upper cowl.
There are a couple bumps where the cowl guns are located though.
This is the Yak-3 with a Klimov M-107 engine. Note the scoop behind the propeller. Note there are still the gun bulges about mid way along the upper cowl.
This is the Yak-9 with Klimov M-107 engine. Note the carb scoop. Not very different in appearance in comparison to the Yak-3 with the M-107.
