I used this same Canon zoom in 1965. It was the cheapest zoom that covered the vidicons of the era. Not wide enough...

That would have matched optically with the pickup tube diameters of early portable BW video cameras, but been too long for any kind of 8mm film format. I’m also not aware of any S8 camera by Nizo or anyone else that came with a C-Mount and was that size and shape.

The Beatles press conference pic appears to match the rear of the Concord: location and size of connectors. The top and bottom corners of the case appear to have a different contour on Andy’s unit compared to the Concord photos online — rounded vs. angled – but that could be a cosmetic change between different manufacturing years of the same basic camera.
