Chronology of cameras Chinon
This camera has a flash table on the back which is calibrated for 100ASA and 400ASA. The aperture does not appear to change using the flash or either of the lenses.
If the viewfinder is to be believed, the ratio of the focal lengths of the two lenses is about 1:2 (normal : tele)

During collection visits, various models of 110-format cameras with many similarities are encountered, all manufactured in Singapore in the late 1970s. The term "pocketpak" (in lowercase) appears in the name of several of these models. The manufacturer remains unknown, although credit is given to them for a large number of cameras sold under various brands.
While waiting to learn more, here are several of these cameras.
