It sure looks like an Indian copy of a Deardorff
I owned a Rajah (spelling?), which was an Indian copy of a Deardorff Special (a 4x5/5x7 camera). Design was exact. Quality was 7.5 out 10 compared to the real thing...once a major light leak was found on the 4x5 back. I put a 5x7 Deardorff back on it (direct fit) and it was a great camera...I used a 210mm lens.
You photos remind me of my Rajah, and it is a good chance that it is another Indian copy, possibly the same manufacturer as my Rajah.

Definitely a Rajah.
