The Kodak Duaflex is a 620 roll film pseudo TLR made by Kodak in the US and UK. The original versions were available from December 1947 - September 1950 in the US, and 1949-1955 in the UK; the Duaflex IV was finally discontinued in the US in March 1960. - source

The Duaflex IV differs from previous models by decorating a "chocolate". From the model III , the single contact for flash, were replaced with screw contacts. Therefore, we find associated, the flash so often seen with the Brownie Flash. - source
