Focus screen query

My P30 has a focussing screen with a rectangular (with rounded corners) area around the split image circle. This is just a bit small to be a perfect "rule-of-thirds" guide, but is easy to use that way. I have never seen or heard of another screen like this. The camera was bought s/h in a general second-hand shop in France. Has anyone else come across one such?

I haven't seen one and the P30 wasn't designed to have user-interchangeable screens, however, that doesn't mean that a previous owner who was handy with a screwdriver couldn't have fitted one.

If you get a screen of the right thickness then it can be trimmed down to fit pretty much any camera so there's a chance that yours may have come from a Nikon, a Minolta, an Olympus... pretty much anything in fact!
