I am not a great expert but since I own a somewhat similar kukri I'd say that yes this is a modern kukri perhaps more modern than what you think, I'd say this may have been bought anywhere between the '70 and the '80.
I hope you won't mind if I'd say that this would be frowned upon by most serious kukri collectors ( remember I have one much like this with yak bone handle ) and would be fairly quickly defined a traveller's kukri.
Yet mine is not a bad blade at all ( I don't know about yours) and is very sharp indeed so, I have it in my collection with other ethnic blades that aren't antiques but functional blades.
the rust van be fairly easily removed
