   Probably a Gowlandflex. Peter Gowland tried to combine
the features of a Graflex and a Rolleiflex. At the time most
magazines would not accept small format pictures, especially
color. The Gowlandflex uses idendical lenses for both finder
and taking. I think he still makes them. He has a web site,
I think a Google search would find it. He also makes
lightweight compact view cameras. He is a friendly man and
will talk to you on the phone if you call.
