Can anyone tell if this is a 4x5 model from these photos? The bag mag appears to be 4x5? Anyone know anything about that lens? THANKS

It appears one bag mag is a 4x5 the other is 3 1/4 x4 1/4. I know this doesn't help.

The longer lens is a telephoto design so it will need less bellows draw for the given focal length making it useful on a reflex camera given the bellows length limitation. the other looks to be a B&L Tessar Ic f4.5 around 9 1/2"fl. A nice enough lens.
