Anyone know this fellow?

Hope the link works. The picture is from the book by Theo M. Scherer "The
Leica and the Leicaflex" (English Edition 1970). Page 67.  The picture
legend says: "American globetrotter visits the Leitz works. Photograph by J.
Behnke. Example of grotesque distortion. 21mm Auper-Angulon, f8; 1/125 sec;
Ilford FP3."

Looks like he is wearing an Army belt with various canvas or leather cases
for his Leica outfit.  Perhaps he is still shooting Leicas - or even on this
list?
