As answered to your question from yesterday (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=61724), no.

On this illustration from Linhof's brochure from 1937 on the top a single plate holder 9x12cm is inserted in the camera.

Peter ,the question was not if 4x5 holders will fit camera,the question was if 4x5 film will fit 9x12 holders.

Peter ,the question was not if 4x5 holders will fit camera,the question was if 4x5 film will fit 9x12 holders.
The answer from April 25 was also "With such 9x12 holders you cannot use 4x5" sheet films." Because 4x5" is 10,16 x 12,7 cm and not 9 x 12 cm. ;)

For 4x5" films or plates there was a Technika II 10 x 15 cm with a back for double-film-holders aviable.
