The rarest regular production Rolleiflex TLR is the Rolleiflex 2.8B
with the CZ Jena Biometar 2.8/80, only 1250 units were manufactured
from February 1952 to March 1953, CZ Jena had problems to deliver the
number of lenses F&H needed for the model and the contract was
cancelled, Todd Belcher disassembled or overhauled a 2.8B Biometar
lens and wrote it looked identical or very close to the Xenotar
2.8/80, it was the 2.8C with the Xenotar 2.8/80 that replaced the 2.8B
production.

PS: While the 2.8F Aurum was made with Xenotar lenses Rollei had in
stock, the 1983/84 2.8F Platin was made with new Planar 2.8/80 lenses
made by Carl Zeiss with T* multicoating labeled "HFT", CZ needed new
tooling and to train people to manufacture again the Rollei TLR
Planar, it was one of the reasons this 2.8F was so expensive; this
Planar was the basis for the GX/FX multicoated Planars, I forgot to
add it in my previous post.-
