I'd like to add I think Todd is right, the people selling mirrors in eBay are offering mirrors for Rolleiflex 3.5 models but Rollei parts catalog numbers don't distinguish between 3.5 and 2.8 lenses specifically since we are talking about the viewing lens, in fact the Rolleiflexes with 3.5 taking lens use 2.8 viewing lenses from the first Automat model in 1937.

I am not certain what you are saying. Prochnow identifies the viewing lenses through the Automat to be from Optisches Anstalt Saalfeld, a Zeiss subsidiary at the time (and again so, now that Zeiss again controls Docter Optics). But I had thought that, after that, the company supplying the taking lens supplied the viewing lens, so that a 3.5F with a JSK Xenotar would have a JSK viewing lens, while one with a CZ Planar would have a CZ viewing lens. 

Am I missing something?
