Yes the pictures are from MW. My Advocate was my fathers and has been in the family since new, I have the original box,instructions and publicity flier. Its a late f3.5 synched model with Dallmeyer lens.

Thanks for the clarification ... I had better reconsider getting the f3.5 version seen recently ... at the time I thought "No ... wait for a f2.8 "... confusion arose from thinking that as they did two models then one was f3.5 and one f2.8 ... so will retrace my searches
Thanks John
Just got the Ilford Witness leather case back from the saddler after repair ... think he was a bit surprised I wa spending £25 on repairing an old camera case ... approx 30% of the case needed restitching
