Old French folding camera

Hi,

I'm trying to name and date an old medium-format French folding camera I
got some 30 years agoe. But I got it used so it might be from the early
- mid 50's.

The only thing is says about it's origin is "Made in France", and inside
there is a sticker for a role of film: "CET APPAREIL UTILISE LET
PELLICUlES - LUMIERE No 49 - SUPER - LUMICHROME - LUMIPAN OU ALTIPAN".

And the logo is two L back to back in a triangle.

Any idea?

And yes, it is more or less still in working order.

Thanks.

Regards/Casper

It shold be a Lumiere folding. They were quite popular in France during
the '50, and Lumiere made film too, so they advertised for it in their
cameras. What kind of lens is on it?

I have one, maybe yours looks like it:
