Are the lenses on this camera all in a row?

I have a cheap, all-mechanical 4-lens camera, with the lenses arranged
in a square pattern. The shutter is just a rotating disk that passes
in front of each lens in turn. I suppose it could be used to take hypostereo
photos of non-moving objects.

(I think I got it at a gift shop at the Grand Canyon.)
