How many different versions of the PB-6 are there? I am asking because I have what appears to be an early type, the front standard has different levers and the
rear mount has an internal mask.
Thanks in advance

I am not actually aware of any early models, but I have two PB-6 and have seen several more, and none has a rear baffle. Assuming it is a genuine feature and
not a mod job, this should make it an interesting early type. Some early Nikon extension rings also have a rectangular internal baffle, but not the ones with
screw-mount intermediate segments.

The baffle at the back looks a lot like those found in the early rings, as you say. I'll try to take a picture.

Om the other hand, I am positive that neither PB-4 nor PB-5 bellows have rear baffles (I am not sure about earlier models like Bellows 2, 2a and PB-3), so the
chance remains that yours is a mod job.
