A clinical camera was nothing more than a long bed No 2 or 2D.
there are sets of 2 and 3 digit numbers stamped on certain pieces, but those were to help assembly.
A camera made by Folmer Graflex Corp (1928-1944) would most certainly have a 6 digit number.
I have a 2D and it's hard to describe but look at the rear section of the camera. There is essentiall a box that holds the bellows that is held by two upright brass arms. To keep these arms together there is an interconnecting board that runs underneath the box.
Grab a flash light and look on this board. It's usualy best if you stand forward of the arms and look and the front/top of the board either right or left side.
