After WWII production of Kodak Junior cameras was continued mainly in England and France. No markings about the manufacturer can be found in this version either. It looks older, but you should not knock a dog looking at the fur. Presumably it is only a cheaper version. Differencies in details also indicates that they origin is not the same.
This one has Kodak Anastigmat 1:8,8 lens. Shutter speeds are T, B, 1/25 and 1/75 sec.

Kodak introduced these tiny disc cameras in 1982 and hoped that the high-quality lenses and precision manufacturing would compensate for their tiny image. It was a nice idea but...
