Has Bowe, Melb Stars, got a Grimmett like action ?

I have read of Clarrie Grimmett having almost a round arm style of bowling leg spin.

Watching Liam Bowe of the Melbourne Stars for the first time, despite the fact he is left handed, he has an almost round arm action.

Would it be similar to the way Grimmett bowled ?

Is there any film of Grimmett bowling ?

Thanks

Wouldn't say Bowe's all that round arm at all. Grimmett's moreso.

Edit: here we go:

Thanks for that

The left arm /right arm makes it more difficult but Bowe has a flat action, which prompted the question.
