I don't think there has been much cropping, or if there was then the
aspect ratio was retained. 6x45 and square. Yes, a folder seems likely.
Zeiss Ikon is my guess because of the high shutter speed neccessary for a
few. (There's a picture showing a fellow with a camera in the never-ready
case but I can't make it out.) One of the photographers was pretty darned
good considering the hardware limitations.

Well, I jumped my '81 BMW R100rs - once, in the rain and went down like a
polevaulter and was immediately run over by a Honda dirt bike. (OB-MF - I
'folded' my German bike.) Craziness. :)
