Doesn't look like an S2 to me: the side corners look too round and the rewind knob too tall from what I can see.

Looks like a Zorki 6 or maybe a Zorki 5
The lack of the opening back door lines and the type of leatherette leans more towards the Zorki 5

Good point. Didn't notice the rounded corners. In that case, what could it be? Lever wind, single vf/rf.....

To me it looks like a Zorki 5 too.

Obviously, HCB needed something to use when his Leica was in the shop for ten months...

I wonder if this was part of the upgrade deal Leica had at the time.

That is why he also had the Canon SII for when his Zorki 5 went to Oleg's grandfather for repair, which was often, see 26:46 in the video.

Desperate but not serious
The lens though looks to be a Nikon 50mm

Yes, it is a well known fact that he used an LTM version of the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 in the early fifties.
