Re: Nightfighters and gun cameras
The Me 262 was planned to carry a BSK 16 camera in the fuselage extreme nose. So, it would probably would not be in the rear cockpit hood unless it was placed there to photograph something else.
Regarding your friend's camera: In fact, the BSK 16 did look a great deal like an old Brownie movie camera. But, for gun camera work it would have a sighting image projector screwed onto the front of the camera in front of the camera lens.
