Early Rolleicords were not separatedly numbered but relied upon the serial number of the taking lens.
3.5/7.5cm CZJ Triotar 1964197 is part of a block of 20,000 (that's right: TWENTY thousand) such lenses manufactured to a design dated 24 MAY 1935 and completed on 1 DEC 1936. (This was not the only block of Triotar lenses from which the taking lenses for the Rolleicord II were taken.) 

There were two production blocks of Rolleicord II cameras.
The first was produced between MAR 1936 and AUG 1937 and consisted of 30,542 cameras. These cameras used 28.5mm push-on filters and lens hoods.
The second block was made between JUN 1937 and JAN 1938 and consisted of 14,000 cameras. These cameras had a Bayonet I fitting on the taking lens mount.
