I've seen ads for the Kodak Master View 4x5, is this similar (except for size), to the Kodak Master View 8x10, i.e., similar design, movements, etc.?

Not even close.

The Kodak Master Camera 8 X 10 (often erroneously called the Master View) is like a metal cross between a Deardorff and a Century Universal, it is a field camera. (although it works just fine in the studio and was advertised as being perfect for that purpose)

The Kodak Masterview is a 4 X 5 monorail and the grandaddy of the Calumet CC monorail series. It was used by architectural photographer Julius Schulman, among others. It has geared front rise, front shift, front swing & tilt on axis and rear axis swing and tilt. I think it has rear shift, but can't recall for sure.
