Wetzlar and Canadian items had indeed different feet scales in that period : Germany pass from feet to feet/inches, and inches at low distances, ending at 28", while Canadians (the ones with s/n on barrel' side, not on front ring) do keep feet, using decimals ending at 2.5 ft.

Dunno if was ALWAYS like this at those times (clearly, isn't like this for today lenses)... but is easy to verify for many 11817 / 11819 that one can find around.

I have a Canadian 35mm Summicron which passes from feet to inches as well, just like this 50mm Summicron.

 

Normal (ending at 28") if it's rather old : the ones which end at 2.5' are the later (difficult to define a precise date... I'd say from 1975 around... yours, I think, has the serial number on front ring (as well as the last Summicron V4, which anyway have the "modern" scaling to 2.5')
