The photos are from a recent ebay list. Its a SK Xenon with some extra bits - does anyone know why?

It used to have a selenium cell meter on the top, which has been removed. They were for use on Exaktas that lacked a meter.

That explains photo2, what about the chrome disc on the back?

It explains all of it, the disk is part of the mechanics to connect the aperture to the meter.

Thanks IAZA

So the chrome disc is a locking flange for the meter.
