Hi Jeff,
A long time ago I was affiliated somewhat with a military PAO, Public Affairs
Officer. The photo kits were like that with the nomenclature being on the order
of
Kit, ptotography, still pic, 35mm. They were from different makers. I'm sure
they've
gone digital now making the 35mm stuff outdated and sold.
