Hi Les:

It's an RB Super D Graflex 4x5 and has been fitted with a Graflok back.
The Grafmatic is marked "Grafmatic Film holder"  and below that a logo 
image of a Graflex, and to the right of that "45" Graphic.

So, after reading your message I don't know what I have, but suspect 
that it's for the Graphic rather than the Graflex, and that it fits my 
Graflex because of the Graflok back.... Is there a Graphlok back?

Thanks for the info.

I didn't know that a Grafmatic was made for 2x3, I'll have to keep my 
eyes open for one.

I sure wish that their marketing folks had standardized on "f" or "ph".
