You'd think the station would call the show "Camera Thirteen"...
 
"Camera Three," "Look Up and Live," and "Lamp unto My Feet" were three, 30-minute Sunday morning programs on CBS. By the late 1970s, very few affiliates cleared the shows, choosing instead to air paid religious programs. "CBS News Sunday Morning" replaced these three shows in 1979.

In effect, yes, however "back in the day" CBS aired two cartoons 9-10 AM ET, followed by
Lamp at 10, Look at 10:30 and Camera at 11, followed by Face The Nation live at 11:30/
re-feed at 12:30. Not sure of network service at 12 PM, or how the re-feed went down
during NFL season (assuming NFL pre-game 12:30-1 PM ET).

I believe Sunday Morning has always been fed (live) 9-10:30 AM ET. Not sure when
Face moved up to 10:30 live.

Check me if I'm wrong, but I believe the hour-long block of cartoons got bumped back to 8-9AM ET when "Sunday Morning" came along. Reruns of "Captain Kangaroo" aired briefly on Sunday mornings around '84 or so, but I'm not sure if the Captain was fed at 7 or 8AM ET. I think the live feed of "Face the Nation" moved to 10:30 ET at some point in the early '80s...not sure when. For a few years in the '80s, CBS aired a public service/religious show at 11AM ET called "For Our Times."
