Yes, however, the EMGO MKIII kickstart does not give the clearance so don't waste money on a MKIII-type kickstart!

The Mk1A and Mk2A had the Mk3 style kickstart lever due to the A models having black cap silencers/mufflers but without the detent fitted to the Mk3 lever so the Mk1A/2A kickstart assembly part number (064249) is not the same as Mk3.
Mk3 assembly (121018 replaces) the previous 'A' assembly.

My 74 serial # 313....came with the beefier type kick start lever also....which i always thought was the same as a mk3..maybe a R&D type lever prior to the mk3 one ?
I had to tuck in/ modify my earlier commando exhaust mount plates so I didn't scratch my new mufflers

These would save a bit of shagging around as previously suggested
STEPPED Norton Commando STAINLESS Muffler Mount Plate PAIR 750 850 06-1721
Special 'stepped' 06-1721 muffer plates, similar to mounted prototype in 2nd photo. To tuck the mufflers in a bit closer for more kickstarter clearance. (Includes button-head allen bolts, not shown, as the clearance between plates is tighter. Isolastics may need to be replaced also, some are...

I completely agree.. and when using a reversed gear lever it is the best length & gives all the clearance you would need.... But when using Mr Madass rear sets. you cannot use the T160 style lever so it will have to be the Mk 3 lever or stepped mounting plates

Most jobs on my Norton often take a few attempts 
I can confirm that the Andover Norton made MK3 kick-start lever fits fine to a 750.
The old lever on my bike cleared the silencer already but was worn at the spline end.
RGM Norton have a Tech Tip pdf on kick-start dimensions.
In your case I'd be inclined to give the stepped mounting bracket a go first. Certainly a lower cost option.
