Hi John:
Your description really looks like the diagrams and
photographs in the manual I mentioned yesterday, but I think that lens
could be made by CZ after the war for "pacific" aerial missions, I was
enlarging some images from the 1942 manual and the info in the lens
barrel looks coded from the manufacturer (Hersteller) up to the lens
features, it makes sense for a war time.
