The site is not accurate, the D was made with both a 3 and a element taking lens while as far as I know the 635 was only with the 3 element lens. The important question is, do have the 35mm kit?

Yes, but the to the original OP's question the sailor is using a Yashicamat 635. I can't tell from the picture if it's a 3 element or 4 element lens.

Most Yashica-635 have the three element Yashikor, but a few have the four element Yashinon.

Here are two with the Yashinon:

The answer is: It is NOT a Rolleiflex. It is just a mediocre Yashica model - not a model to aspire for.
