The Prefect was a Pseudo TLR-format roll film box camera produced by Haking's in Hong Kong from around 1957. Takes 12 frames on 120 film. Haking's Double Meniscus f.8 lens, with f.8,f.11 and f.16 stops. B & I shutter settings, with flash synch.
The Prefect has a spring-loaded cover on the red window, labeled "Empire Made" (at the time, a euphemism for Hong Kong - British territory until handed back to the P.R.C. in 1997) and an unusual catch holding the back shut. The catch has a rotating plate, centred on the tripod bush; turning this plate uncovers a sprung steel finger, which lifts, releasing a pin attached to the bottom edge of the back, allowing it to open.
A similar camera, with the same body and lens, was the Halina Viceroy, of 1960.
