It looks to me like the lens hourglasses in as it meets the shutter, that there is a rim consistent with the outside edge of a copal 3. There are levers consistent with a copal 3, but most of the shutter body is hidden from view by the large front cell. There is very clearly a release cable coming out of the bottom right. There is very clearly a lever with a red dot on it just above the release cable and one with a black dot on it opposite on the top left side of the shutter. There is also a small lever just left of the shutter release.
Since the camera is a Sinar I'd guess the lens is a 360mm Sinar labeled Sironar. It looks too big to be a 240 or 300 and too small to be a 480. Its a common enough arrangement it could likely have been rented from the same house as the film crew's gear.
