What's the model of 16mm camera Tom Stobart shot "The Conquest of Everest" in 1953?

I'm propping a period biopic "Tenzing" about Tenzing Norgay's life & summiting Mount Everest. One of the expedition team, Tom Stobart, filmed the expedition with a a 16mm camera. I'm trying to figure out what the exact model it is so we can either purchase or hire one. Does anyone have a clue?

Looks like a B&H but I’m no expert.

That is a Bell&Howell Filmo 70.

Fantastic camera I love mine.

That’s a Bell & Howell Filmo 70-DL, released in 1951.
