Hello, I am not aware of any drawings for the BNC/BNCR. How accurate does it need to be? I own a BNCR and could give you some dimensions and pictures.

The cameras were in use up to 2020! I didn’t realize they were still utilizing film cameras. Thanks for the info.

Do you have a link to the UK eBay auction?

I do not know what company that was. If you ever take the paint off (carefully) be sure to keep an eye out for...
