Definitely not a lab effect. In the sixties, when fisheye lenses were a craze, those with no money for a real fisheye used a trick from Popular Photography. You’d take a little peephole viewer (like you find in apartment building doors) and mount it to a lens cap that you’ve drilled a hole in. Looks like that to me.
I don’t see the small black center hole in your photos, so I can’t comment on that.
