Help identifying 1920s camera

I've uploaded some images here - can anyone tell me what type of camera this might be?

The images are from spring 1924 and the camera was likely purchased in the UK or US. I believe it may be a Kodak Vest Pocket but I'm not certain, and if it is I'd also love to know what model it is and when it was made, if anyone can tell from these images. Thanks!

I compared it to my Kodak Vest Pocket and I agree it looks basically the same, assuming the subject's hands are the same size as mine..

The round-front VPKs apparently came in in 1925 with the Model B, so if it's from 1924, the VPKs of the time had a rectangular front. It could be one of many cameras of the time (eg Ernemann Bob V) as the round front was a function of the shape of leaf-shutter mechanisms.
