Just nit-picking a bit: PM(E)45 and PM(E)90 are/were made by Hasselblad.
PM(E)3/5/51 too. I'm not sure about PM(E), that was way before my time.
Might have been Novoflex.

The HC-1 Reflex 90 degree finder by Hensoldt of Wetzlar is the first as
well as being by far the most compact.
available from 1960 to 1973.
The compactness makes the camera not only operate nicely on its side but it
also appears nice like its ok for it to be on its side.
Both hand held and on a tripod.
Here¹s one big

And appears to be made of chocolate.
Its under the category of ³second generation² here.
I'm checking out what that means as 1960 would seem first generation to me.
