I don't know how relevant it is but I used to own a Voigtlander 
Prominent which certainly had the leaf shutter mounted behind the 
lens as the lens was fully interchangeable. The rear pupil of the 
lens was very, very small and the shutter blades were very close to 
the rear pupil when lens was mounted.
