Black paint M3 (I think) in a recent show

Last night I was in one of those places with 40+/- TVs.  The set next to the basketball game I was watching had some sort of recent King Kong show going on TNT network.

 

Can't say much about the show, but toward the end the female star was using what appeared to be a black paint M3 with a goggled chrome lens, probably intended to be a 35/2, and a meter on top.  There was a brief view through the finder, give them credit for showing M3 like single frame lines, but I did not see a rangefinder patch.

 

I think the camera was digitally inserted into the scene, it did not look quite right.  Give the film credit for using a classic camera, but this was probably lost on most younger generation viewers .  Other props were much more modern.

It's been discussed before here and on RFF, but the movie was King Kong: Skull Island and the referenced camera is a silver chrome Leica M3 with a goggled 35mm Summaron and an MC meter.  The odd thing about it is the brown leather covering and the Luigi strap. 

 

It can be clearly seen here.
