Thibault,

Yes:

1- On the UOORF/16508 adaptor ring for lens head of rigid 
Summicron 50mm with SOOKY or SOMKY/16507 and also with the 
BOOWU/16525 and BOOWU-M/BOWUM/16526.

SOOKY or SOMKY/16507 = optical near-focusing device
(much like RF (dual range) Summicron 50mm)
BOOWU/16525 copying gauge for LTM cameras.
BOOWU-M/BOWUM/16526 idem for M cameras.

The collapsible Elmar 50/2,8 and collapsible Summicron 50/2
didn't need the adaptor UOORF/16508.

2- On the DMUOO/17672 adaptor with Bellows UXOOR/16555 and 16556.
UXOOR/16555 = Bellows I for Visoflex I
16556 = Bellows II for Visoflex II, IIa and III.

> Do other rigid s'crons also have an unscrewable head?

Yes, until 1979 (not the collapsible).
Catalogue codes :
SOSTA/11018/11518/SOSIC/11818/11117/11618/SOMNI/11918/11817
ouf!
