I wrote "it seems..." about the FX "new" lens, I was recalling  I
asked DHW about the "S-Apogon" lens for the Rollei 35 and they
answered:

"Dear Carlos,
"The Rollei 35 lens is based on the CZ Sonnar 2,8/40mm
"Best regards"

I became convinced from this mail the S-Apogon for the FX was also the
Planar labeled "S-Apogon", it's necessary more specific info about the
"new" FX, the seller could confuse the item description and the lens
is the same Planar with other name.
