    Is this a Wista Monorail lensboard (152mm) ?

    I have what may (?) be a Wista Monorail lens board. It came with some miscellaneous stuff I bought.

    It measures 152mm square with rounded corners having a radius of about 1cm. It doesn't appear to be cast.
    It is NOT a Linhof type board, and there are no "notches", raised "bumps", light traps, or other identifiers.
    It does not appear to be home made (nicely finished, aluminum).

    It has a 50mm lens mounting hole.
    The board is nicely finished in textured black paint and appears to be about 0.7mm thick (which is thinner than most lens boards I am used to.

    It also has a 5mm hole about 20mm (3/4") from the edge in one corner. (hole for a packard shutter tube or?)

    If it's a Wista board, I'd like to sell or swap it for an 80mm Horseman board or a 110mm Toyo field board. Hoping someone knowledgeable about Wista monorail cameras may know . I can 't find any other 152mm lens boards listed anywhere....
