(1949, 1950, 25th Showa) Similar to the Post-war Model I with the same shutter, a different face plate and a coated lens.
Suppliers of the lenses at that time included "Asahi Optic Co.", but their lenses are much inferior compared with a modern product. This was because Japan was in an economic depressed period following World War II.Notable differences include the 14mm film advance winder and the face plate labelled "Mycro SANWA CO. LTD, COATED LENS", like the later IIIA.
One late version includes a cable release connection for the shutter and a rear cover sliding opening
