The 50:1.4 v2 summilux is a beautiful looking lens and would look more period correct IMO.  The 'millennium' is nice but uses a very shiny 'piano black' paint, which is consistent with modern MP but won't match exactly your M4.  It could be worth checking out fotopia.com.hk - Gilbert the owner of the store often gets Kanto repaints through so you might be able to save some of the Kanto wait time if you get lucky with what he may have in stock .   Gilbert would also know which finishes match original M4 paint .   

Could be worth emailing also in case they have things not on the website 

I’ve been watching Fotopia.com for new arrivals… They have very nice lenses. I’ll email Gilbert. Thank you!
