I looked in my knife book and it appears at though I have identified this as a Case Tested XX Texas Jack white comp. handles.
Closed length is 3 7/8"
I did not find any this style on ebay as they all had both blades on same end.
Main blade has side to side play and pen blade has loss.

Nice find! I'm not sure what book you're referencing but I've always thought of a "Jack knife" as having blades at only one end, and a "Texas Jack" historically has been a 92 pattern, like the 6292.

Yes its an 04247 SP. Secondary blade is a spay. Case made that from the Tested era til about 1967. 47 stockman frame but with one backspring. The older white handle material will often turn yellowish with age.
