Sure.

BNCR is still the de-facto standard on several cameras including,  
BNCR ... no surprise, there ... and numerous Freis conversions, also  
Cinema Products XR-35, and possibly one Panavision.

I suspect you can rent just about any of the older Panavision lenses  
in BNCR from their rental outlets, on request. You could surely rent  
just about any lens in BNC mount, back before the days of mass- 
conversions to reflex viewers.

IIRC, the Panavision R-200 camera had a BNCR mount, at least in its  
original incarnation as this camera is a Mitchell BNC or NC head  
inside a Panavision blimp housing, much as the CP XR-35 is a Mitchell  
BNC or NC head inside a CP blimp housing. The R-200 designation comes  
from a slight modification to the basic NC/BNC movement, to give it a  
200 degree shutter capability. The standard NC/BNC movement has a 180  
degree shutter capability. The R-200 head is otherwise identical to  
an NC/BNC.
