PS James you are brilliant, your clue has helped me solve the mystery. The filter is a Leitz Series 8 UVa, and there is a whole range of Leica series 8 filters which will work just fine on the 'Blad wide-angles, including the early SWC. As these Hasselblad filters are getting scarce and expensive, this is good news. So what Leica lens are they intended for?

They also fit the old 180mm f2.8 elmarit-R (which I use them for), and possibly the old 250mm as well.
