If we are talking about the same Sammy Davis Jr
photograph, he is holding a Rolleiflex 2.8C as you can
see clearly after to enlarge the image several times.
The photograph is shown left-right side inverted and
Sammy is holding the camera according the manual
teaches, with the index finger on the shutter release
button. The camera has the flash cord socket lock made
from plastic  and it could be a C only if you add the
taking lens diameter in comparison with the viewing
lens, the M-X lever and the selftimer lever and other
features like the nameplate "Rolleiflex" and the
viewfinder hood. The 4x4 looks more like a "T" with
the lateral shutter release button.-
You can see the photograph in this article:

All the best

You have that right Carlos.
You can make out the roundness of the C's aperture as he's exposing the shot.
Good eye!
Oops, sorry Sammy...
