Sorry but no. These are indeed monopoles but they are not the elementary particle that is often referenced in OA and that is predicted by Supersymmetry. This is quasi particle and many similar to it have been demonstrated over last decade.
But it is still interesting because it proves Dirac right and that his models may later be used in search for actual elementary monopoles.
