      Looks like the same base camera as mine: Ansco Cadet B2.

      At first I thought it was. They were taken at a similar angle, with similar background, and similar lighting. I was so confused.

      Indeed it does, Rob. Yours is in better shape, but I do like how this one shows the curious canvas material of the handle. Also no evidence that a badge was ever on it. In any case, this has always been a favorite of mine. That face plate!
