Dang I would have liked to see some sample images from those without having to buy one first

Here's a PDF that includes some optical block diagrams for these giant Deltas (I believe the HD-8 or its revision is in there):

I do remember what the images look like, and they really were pretty good in full colour. Not a hint of spherical aberration- they looked like normal images. Was some scenes shot in an autumn forest.

I can't work my way back to that seller so I can't ask for more.

How did you come across that website? I've seen the same PDF floating around on the internet, didn't think to check a website existed.

These are about as cheap as it gets and I think (if I can find the images) the best example of what OP was looking for.

EDIT: I still have access to the full res camera pic. It seems they used the Sinar focal plane shutter in front of the lens:
