Apples and Oranges, Richard. We are not speaking
of later lenses: we are speaking of what was
available in Tokyo in June, 1950, and the
Japanese lenses were exact, precise, uniform
copies of the German originals. A copy cannot
exceed the performance of the original, all things being equal.
The 1.4/50 Nikkor appeared some years later,
after the end of the Korean War, and is a totally different bunny.
