Without a clamp to lock the top and bottom together I feel like we’re going to need a double-ended connector (a short pipe with 4 tabs) to slip inside the Graflex halves to lock everything together and make it solid.

Yep. With that photo from Ridire Firean I don't know how much more proof there could be.It's a Roman 2nd gen.
I think it might be a TGS flash and I say that only because TGS posted a message on their Facebook page that seemed to hint their replica was used in the movie. Otherwise I myself can't tell whose replica it is.

If you guys say it's a Roman's, then it's a Roman's. I don't argue with the expertsYep. With that photo from Ridire Firean I don't know how much more proof there could be.
I'm tempted to use a vintage to make mine just for the irony.
Is that the "Trust me" wink or the "I know something" wink? lolRomans 100%
Ah I see what you're talking about now. Good eyes.To me it looks like the high domed lens in the glass eye from Roman too. The TGS lens is very shallow.
Looking at the shoulder around the eye: comparing it to my TGS Gen 2, I can't say for sure flat spots beside the eye's shoulder would be visible in the photo of the prop if the prop were a TGS, but I certainly don't see them on the prop. The prop's shoulder looks higher and more pronounced than I see on my TGS 1.9 top -- and just like the shoulder I see on my Gen2 from Roman.
(The tips of the bulb clamp flanges are pointed on both Roman's and TGS' clamp, where on a vintage they would be rounded. To my eye, they appear pointed on the prop, but a better photo would be more conclusive.)

EMPIRE Magazine image - looks like the standard clamp card cut down? Or even the slothfurnace type?
It looks wider than the standard size to my eye.
And it looks white instead of transparent, but I don't want to make that call of an obviously heavily retouched image.
