OHMSS Minox camera

Brain picking time fellow Bondians.

Does anyone know exactly which model of Minox camera (A or B) was used (upside down) by our Mr Lazenby in said film? Or if indeed it actually was a Minox? (I ask this as scaramangasgoldengun appeared to have a Minolta camera in his OHMSS display while I believe The Mantis has a Minox in his amazing collection).

If it is a Minox is there much difference between the A and B?

Incidentally, in the tradition of our Ozzy Bond am I right in saying that Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights has his opera glasses upside down too?

    yes i had a Minolta sub camera in my OHMSS display and still .. do ... the reason being is... becuase.. its a more economic to obtain a minolta... alternative and looks fairly accurate and the camera its self and a nice framed picture I have of lazenby holding the spy camera.. it looks very much like a minolta... and not the minox.... even tho it is...

    as I say just for display .. but my website states that in the film in was a minox which was used... and gives some info on spy cameras of the era..
