Art Deco Font - help to identify it :)

Hi :)
Thanks in advance for your help in identifying this art-deco style font - it should be easy as I saw several times but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks

Font: 
Canterbury Old Style

Appears to be Landsdowne Commercial, by Greater Albion Typefounders (and I would call it Victorian or Edwardian more than Art Deco):

Landsdowne is very close but I think Canterbury Old Style RR by Red Rooster [1993] is a better match [it's not so round and serifs, kerning and x-height look closer]

Compare to an undocumented near clone of Canterbury, with the name Landsowne Commercial


Not quite a 100% match.
Canterbury Old Style was designed by Morris F. Benton for ATF in 1920, it was not completed for production until 1926.
You can also use yet another font based on Canterbury, which credits the source, Londonderry Air NF, by Nick Curtis
