Leica just put the new flange on with five screws, my Noctilux and 75mm 
Summilux are both like that after their trip to Solms.

There ARE 6 screws in Leica M lenses.  However, there are 2 hole patterns.
One of the patterns allows for the replacement flange to be fitted and use 
all 6 screws.  The other pattern, has a screw right where the 6 bit codes 
are.. So upon replacement, only 5 screws are used.

I do not know what Leica does about this dilemma, but for us mere mortals, 
it means there are 2 different flanges to choose from.
