Well, not so sure that the “full area control surfaces on the tail” are necessary for supersonic flight but it looks more like the F-16 than the F-16 itself.
I flew an airplane in the Ohio ANG, the F-84F, that was “supersonic.” The limiting Mach was 1.1...and achieved in a dive. The airplane had full area horizontal stabilizers but really a fighter-bomber, not an air superiority fighter like the F-15.
