Need Rolleicord Deco Info

[Two23]

I'm thinking of buying an "Art Deco" Rolleicord since I just mistakenly bought a plate adapter back for an older style Rollei rather than the 1954 Rolleflex MX I actually have. Always wanted a Deco one anyway, I guess. Looking into I read that the later Decos had a removeable back. OK, how do I tell by looking at photos of cameras is one has removeable back or not? Or, is there a lens serial number I can go by?

Look at this picture and notice how long the screw at the hinge is. It's that simple. That part is springy enough so you easily can remove the back.

Makes sense. Thanks.

On my deco the back only comes off if the side hinge is removed.
Otherwise, appears it might work with the plate adapter.
