Maybe the Bedfordflex was made by the Hong Kong based maker of the famous Diana (see link below). It makes 12 4x4cm exposures on one type No. 127 film roll. Serious camera enthusiasts might not like to call it a twin lens reflex camera, but it is almost a twin of the Hong Kong made Stellarflex, Splendidflex & Roskoflex, being a similar plastic "double-lens reflex camera" and having an equal pair of lenses with fixed focus and a similar shutter with instant and bulb mode. Another very similar camera was the Ilfoflex, apparently used as a promotional gift by Ilford in 1961[1].
