As far as my reference library exists, there are two possibilities and any historical evidence in the scenes or the camera used or the age of the Photographers will assist to determine which film it is.

 

The former mentioned below is the replacement for the latter:

Kodak Panatomic – X 135/36

AKA: “Kodak Panatomic-X 32 FX”, “Kodak 5060/135”, “Pan-X”, “Pan-X 32”

Suggested ASA Rating: 32

Introduced: circa 1960~62

Discontinued: circa 1989

 

Kodak Panatomic-X

AKA: “Panatomic –X Code 5060”

Suggested ASA Rating: 25

Introduced: circa 1945~48

Discontinued: circa 1960~62

A Google™ or two will reveal Kodak listings (and other manufacturers as well) of the 'numbers' of their various films ---often on the margins of the film.

 

Even Wikipedia has some lists of film IDs or gives numbers under the entry on various films.
