Would this adapter convert L39 (screwmount) to M-mount?

Been looking to pickup a used Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm/f4 and I'm seeing some great deals for the L39 screwmount version

 

Does the adapter I've linked here effectively work to convert a L39 to a M-mount?  I haven't handled one in person so I can't figure out if swapping out the lens flange also changes the way it mounts.  

 

Would be great if it does since this also has the option to 6-bit code the lens.  I want to use it on both my M6 and T, and for the T it uses the M-T adapter so I'd like to minimize the number adapters I'm stacking.

Just buy a normal LTM to M adaptor, no need to change the mount at all.

No- it would not. This is what you need:

thanks for the input!

 

now that I think about it, is the 6-bit coding even necessary if I'm using this on a Leica-T due to the ~1.5x crop factor?  Other than having the EXIF data my only concern was the lens correction but now I'm not sure if that's even necessary unless I was shooting on a full frame sensor.

I see you plan to use this lens on M6 and T : no coding needed for any even if, as you say the M adapter of T can recognize and record a 6 bit code : apart exif data, I doubt it has a sense to code the CV 21 (btw, it would be very dubious to decide WHICH code put on it ...)
