It appears to be some variant or actual 9 MM, as a close inspection of one of the photo's shows this when looking upon the film.
I see no lense. It looks like parts. I wish the person had taken some more photo's or the projector actually set up. It's rather vague.

This machine is well known (?) in the UK and is a 9.5mm Camera/ Projector. The one on offer above appears to be in much better condition than most examples. Projector light output was very low; more a gimmicky viewer!
Try Google for more info
Osi, The first item is only of various accessories for sale NOT for a Camera/Projector at all. The heading is a vague one; because the seller did not know what to call them he just quoted what's written on one of the items "Midas Camera Projector Ltd" i.e. the maker's name!
