Right at the height of it! First time out with my used Rokinon 12mm fisheye. Perfect for portraits! -

Lifetouch was/is one of the largest high-volume portrait photography franchises in North America: they've been in business 80 years, certainly long enough that it seems logical this bespoke focus screen configuration was made by Beattie to Lifetouch precise specifications. Probably not a stock offering in Beattie's catalog: I'd guess this was made only for Lifetouch to offer as a proprietary accessory for their affiliated photographers. Mamiya was by far the medium format system of choice in the heyday of churn-em-out school and corporate film portrait work (most often the C220/C330 TLRs, but the later RB67 made heavy inroads and even the clunky Universal Press was popular in some applications like passports and IDs). The layout of this screen indicates the attached RB67 was expected to remain in fixed portrait orientation at a fixed distance, with the upper small rectangle used to quickly position the face in the overall frame (handy when dealing with an endless parade of schoolkids etc). Interesting find! Hope it proves to have some utility for you.
