I don't think this is the same layout. The floodlight towers looked similarly placed, but the sidings are totally different. There is a second layout in the Johnny Cash commercial portion of the video that is actually featured in a Lionel Track Layout Book from 1975.

A few photos I shot from the TM video quickly, I'll try to get some better shots. I'm fairly convinced this is the layout on the mini catalog cover.

I think it is the same layout. The yard tracks are easily reconfigured. But the fully scenicked elevated fills running along the long edges of the layout, and the distinctive ridges and slope of the mountain are not. it is rare to see an elevated fill block the front of a layout- I don't think I have ever seen it on another layout. Also note the black bumper common to both layouts as opposed to the common red one.
