Tele-Elmarit 90 (thin) profile on SL

I'm renting an SL over Christmas to see how I like it, using my M lenses (jury out so far.) The lens profiling works brilliantly on all of them, whether coded or not, except for one, my uncoded Tele-Elmarit 90 (thin) - the camera will only bring up the 35 Lux and Cron profiles for this. Anyone have any explanation or solution for this?

Possibly the flange bolt pattern is interfering with the code reader. Is the lens coded? If not, I'd have DAG code it.

Thanks very much - on looking at the flange I see there is a screw exactly where the coding would be (my lens is uncoded) and it has a darkened, nearly black, head. so that may well be what is causing the SL to misread it. Still odd though that the SL can interpret one mark like that in the same way as the regulation six. I do keep meaning to send the lens off to Germany for coding but there's always something more pressing to spend money on.
