No, thats 2 core flex, you will likely find its joined to the main wires behind the base, theres a likely chance its old VIR wires and possibly no earth, depending where that single earth wire is attached, if no earth you should not have metal light fitting.
 
So if i remove all can i connect the short earth and live and neutral to this?

Yes, that is the same as what you have there, albeit a different make, personally i would be concerned what lurks behind that old white base, it could end up more involved as someone felt the need to add that short flex.
