Yep! And the s/n of Lager's pict is only 20 far from mine...Time ago I wrote him a mail (his adress now is unreachable) on this lens, and with a something mysterious mood he answered me "...this lens may come out from Schneider...I am investigating on this..."
No other infos: these superexperts of Leitz history sometimes recall kind of professors that spend their lives studying in deep Leonardo manuscripts... Another time I wrote him about my Telyt 40 f5 1st type... it has a s/n "wartime" (567.044 - "bibles" say 1941)...but is clearly coated and with international stop scale (i.e. to f32, not f36) : two signs of "afterwar" production: no more than two or three days later Lager answered me with a mail so starting : "number 567.044 was delivered to Cattaneo, Italian agent, on 25th July 1948..." ; I admit that felt very impressed. (BTW, don't remember the exact date, it is in my files but not sculpted in my mind...)
