Orion was the original name of the company that made Miranda cameras. Mirandas had an unusually short lens flange-to-film distance, making it possible for them to offer adapters to use many other makes of lenses on Miranda cameras. The Focabell name for the bellows unit was continued after the company name changed to Miranda. The lens mount, as far as I recall, continued unchanged, a 44mm screw thread inside with a bayonet outside ... although some of the earliest cameras may not have had the outer bayonet. If you search for Miranda adapters instead of Orion, you may have more luck.
