83 kz550ltd m1 front brake disc

I'm reasonably certain that my bike was wrecked by a previous owner. It has a slightly warped front brake disc that doesn't look like other 550ltd brake discs on fleabay. I'm thinking that the front end and wheel may have been replaced with parts from another model. Here is a photo of the front wheel/brake disc. Does anyone have any input as to whether it is correct or from what bike it might be from? I like the bike and want to replace the disc but not sure what I have exactly. I replaced the brake pads with pads I got from Z1 and they are fine. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. Between myro's photo and another one that I found online, it's definitely the wrong front wheel but still the same 19" diameter. I saw no markings on it other than Kawasaki, Enkie and made in Japan. I'll get another wheel and disc from fleabay then. From the diagrams on the Kawasaki parts site and the part numbers, it looks like any 550ltd wheel from the early '80's should work although the disk numbers are slightly off, just the last 4 digits a little different but the drawings look the same.
