Real or prop Leica in Toyota ad?

One of the new Toyota commercials had a few frames that caught my eye - check this out:

After finding it on Youtube, (note the 48 second mark) it is not all that it appears to be. It would be a bit silly to fake a camera just for a commercial, but it appears to be without strap lugs and the viewfinders look all wonky.

It almost looks like a Fed with an Industar lens attached. Then again, I only saw it for a second.

Would it be an idea to hire time on one of the big super computer clusters, write an image enhancement program for massively parallel processing, select the most promising frame to run through the enhancer and then post a link to the resulting 3.4 gigabyte image here? We could then decide if it's a real Leica or not...

In freeze frame it is a FED 3 with a panda Industar-61. Same as my first rangefinder camera 🙂

Some prop man has a sense of humour I think!

See, I know you guys would come though with the details! I love how most commercials have macs w/ stickers over the Apple logo, so I've snuck my Chromebook into shoots when I can.
