Hi John:
            Considering each lens from the last e*** number you mentioned:

*Prototype* Rollei Zeiss Distagon 25mm/f2.8 HFT: This lens was
manufactured for QBM I, II, III, IV and V MT(42mm thread) by CZ
Oberkochen, HFT (T*) from 1974, the sellers consider  the lens they
sell a "protoype" because it was made by Rollei as unique piece (QBM
III made using the name Rollei), however Rollei made it for the brand
"Voigtländer Color Skoparex" QBM II and QBM V (42mm hread) under CZ
license.
Manufactured from 1970 to 1991.

*Prototype*Rollei Zeiss Tele-Tessar 200mm f/3.5: Sample in the auction
site looks QBM II and it could be a QBM II pre-production prototype,
it was manufactured from QBM I to V TM (42mm), made by CZ Oberkochen
and Rollei under CZ license, HFT from 1973. Voigtländer (Rollei)
versions "Color Dynarex" QBM II and V TM (42mm).
Manufactured from 1970 to 1987.

*Prototype* Rollei Zeiss Distagon 15mm f/3.5 HFT: This lens was made
by Carl Zeiss Oberkochen only and for QBM I, II and IV, HFT (T*)
version only, the QBM I version in the auction could be a
pre-production prototype, no Voigtländer (Rollei) versions.
Manufactured from 1973 to 1989.

*Prototype* Rollei Zeiss Distagon 18mm/f4 HFT: The lens in the auction
is QBM I and then it could be a pre-production prototype; it was made
by CZ Oberkochen only and for QBM I, II and IV, HFT (T*) version only,
no Voigtländer (Rollei) versions.
Manufactured from September 1972 to 1992.
