Your find is truly excellent. I have this same lens: it covers 12x20 with a little room for movement. It’s also convertible to 475mm by removing the front cell. As mentioned above, the cells are a direct fit into a Copal 3S shutter.
It’s a rare gem and an asset in virtually any format.
I have one of these also which I use for 12x20 and 14x17. It's an awesome lens and an amazing POV. Fortunately both cameras have rear focusing so I don't have to worry about the bed getting in the frame.
I would love to see some examples of images taken with this lens if anybody has any scans.
