I add to your list the pre-war Phillips Rolleicord II, it was provided with a
masks set to take 24 6x3 pictures. The film counter wheel with the 24 numbers
was within the camera body like the regular counter wheel, this model was
manufactured from or during 1939 and the number of cameras is unknown; this is
a rare camera and the way to know if it has the 24 frames counter is taking the
lateral panel out, the serial numbers are included within the Rolleicord II
third version serial block.
At least the firsts masks set pouches for the Rolleicord Vb were also marked
"Rolleicord 16" like the Rolleicord Va masks set pouches and then you need to
see the content.
