Seneca made a few different models of Whole plate cameras, I'd assume the took the same size DDS plate/film holders as Eastman Kodak and Kodak Ltd cameras as their 7x5 and 10x8 cameras do. There wasn't an agreed standard though so there are variations.

No whole plate camera will take a 10x8 back, I guess you could make an extension back though.

My Seneca uses Kodak holders.

Perhaps you can identify your camera model here : http://piercevaubel.com/cam/seneca.htm or the catalog link. Seneca catalogs start at 1906.
