Not sure Jerry. Could be. But I do know that Leitz used her
testimonial of Leica in their marketing of their 35mm cameras years ago.

Carlos,
I hate to burst your bubble, but I do believe that the other
camera appears to be a Canon
or another Japanese copy of the Leica. NOT a Leica.
You may choose to disagree.

Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was the first female war
correspondent and the first woman to be allowed to work in combat
zones during World War II.
"The woman who had been torpedoed in the Mediterranean,
strafed by the
Luftwaffe, stranded on an Arctic island, bombarded in Moscow, and
pulled out of the Chesapeake when her chopper crashed, was
known to
the Life staff as 'Maggie the Indestructible. This incident in the
Mediterranean refers to the sinking of the England-Africa bound
British troopship SS Strathallan which she recorded in an article
"Women in Lifeboats", in Life, February 22, 1943.(Wikipedia)
The first Life magazine cover when it mainly became a photo-report
magazine in 1936 was a Bourke-White photograph about a dam.
I found these post-war images showing Margaret Bourke-White
loading
her Rolleiflex 2.8C, the first one shows a Leica too.
