Yes, that's how I have seen T and B implemented. But unless my camara is
FUBAR'd, Ihagee didn't implement it that way on the Ekakta. I wouldn't be
surprised if they made up their own methodology, given all the other oddities
on that camera and its siblings. The 50's were a period of experimentation in
camera design with lots of dead-end's. Exakta was one of those dead end roads,
or at least a road with a cul-de-sac of no return.
If you want to see a really strange camera that is still recoginzable as a
camera, look at a Kodak Ektra (www.cameraquestcom). It is also a left handed
design with the wind lever on the left side of the back of the camera!

Yup,
B will hold shutter open as long as you depress the shutter button (term
comes from using the old squeeze air bulbs).
T will open shutter on first press and release shutter on second press.
This is true Timed exposure. You can press T, walk away, and a few hours
later come back and press shutter button again. Shutter then closes.
