Yes Elias, the camera was made in 1965 or perhaps at the beginning of
1966 according the Rollei Report II second and reviewed edition,  3.5
F cameras from 2299547 to  2814999 SN were made from 1965 up to 1966,
they were provided with six elements Xenotar and Planar 3.5/75 lenses.
From 1966 the 3.5F cameras were provided with six elements Xenotar
3.5/75 lenses only.
My 3.5F six elements Planar was made at the ending of 1963 or during 1964.
These cameras have the same lever to change from X to M flash sync and
to activate the self-timer, if you put the lever at the M/bulb lamp
icon, you can't use the self-timer and then you could avoid the
problem you had with the self-timer and the M sync some days ago.
