Question Asbestos cement siding?

Hey guys,
Does this look like asbestos cement siding to you?
The house was built in 1948, had knob and tub wiring
Thanks!

Based on the appearance of the siding and the age of this structure, some, most or all of the exterior siding material may contain asbestos. The client(s) should be aware of this when considering repairs to or replacement of this siding, and consult with qualified testing labs and/or abatement contractors as necessary. For more information on asbestos in the home, visit CPSC

Remember,

Siding is not equated to Asbestos "In the Home"
There is a difference between Interior and Exterior exposures.....
your mileage may vary.....
