Hoping someone has seen this set catalogued some place and can tell me about it.

I've got 6 pics so it'll take 2 posts. It consists of 2 9 1/2" normal petzval's. The opposing directions of the hand wheel could mean it was meant for a stereo camera perhaps? (or that someone took one of them apart and put it back together wrong?)

It came with the 4 extension barrels that each have lenses screwed into them also. The extension barrels all say 10 1/2" on them. The lenses in the extension barrels are too large in the threads to go directly into the regular barrels, but the extension barrels thread into the brass barrels fine. The shade screws into the extended front lens same as the normal front lens.

A seller on Ebay split the set up and sold one set with the 2 front lenses in the black barrels to one person, and the other set with 2 rear lenses included to a second person. I was 3rd party on one of the mismatched sets and both before had to take a profit, and 2nd party on the other mismatched set and also had to pay the profit. So to re-assemble this stuff, I've got stupid money tied up.

Don't mis-understand, I'm a capitolist myself, so I fully understand making a profit. Just hope it was worthwhile to re-assemble the set. Naturally I'm curious.
So who knows about this set-up and can edumacate me. Really hoping someone has a catalog that mentions this.
