Here are few shots of my Standard #333 (with a "Los Angeles" badge, predating West Hollywood)... the crank side door has been modified to take a motor drive (not a usual Mitchell motor, but some other device), and the flywheel has been removed, indicating that # 333 was most recently used for animation, since the flywheel would cause a stutter, even at a rate of one frame. The automatic variable shutter is intact, and the L-base still has the built-in iris (positionable in frame), the built in matte curtains and the matte/effects wheel, and it has an uncommon early ("Los Angeles" badge) Mitchell sidefinder.
Note the position of the Mitchell "Los Angeles" badge on the door.
This camera was purchased in 1931 by British Lion Films (London) and was one of two Mitchell Standards at that studio, the other being Mitchell Standard # 330
