I have and use several of these on everything from enlargers to the
favorite BEOON copy stand.  If you look very closely, you will find a
serial number on the rear of these lenses.  Sample vintages are:

5cm       #1588930      1958
50mm      #2368440      1969
50mm II   #2739475      1975
50mm II   #2801498      1976
