I have and I use a 2.8C Xenotar my father bought brand
new in 1956 and then I have some info about it.
The 2,8C has five blades for the shutter and ten
blades for the diaphragm.
The Xenotar lens was used for the 2.8C from the
beginning till the end, December 1952 to June 1955,
the Zeiss Planar from March 1954 to June 1955, however
when the Planar was used the Xenotar was also used
with the Planar indistinctly and then there are no
specific cameras serial numbers for Planar or Xenotar
(except that the earlier 2.8C must be Xenotar), the
evidence is my own camera, it has the serial number
1433112 (close to the final batch) and a Xenotar lens.
I don't know the source for the Harry's site, but I
wrote him about it some years ago and he accepted
there were some errors.
I don't know about 2.8C with metal locks, they are
plastic made and Rollei no longer manufactured them
for the TLR because they tend to break more easy than
the metal ones.-
All the best
