Introduction | Petal round | Evarax A | Sakura Seiki | Film | Film Cutter | Film punch
There are at least three distinctions are found in the round Petal model. The engraving "Made in Occupied Japan" is either on the back or on the side and CPO may be engraved in a diamond on the back.
The other distinction is that the small wooden box is either large enough to take the camera inside it's case or too small for the case to fit. Possibly the camera was sold with the case as an option.

The case is too large to fit the box which is only large enough for the camera and instruction sheet.
