The ZOOEP/16463 and the 16462 mounts both have an internal thread on one
side and an M male bayonet on the other, so this isn't either of these.  If
it is RF coupled, you might have a coupled mount for either a 4/90 or
4.5/135 lens -- these bore the serial numbers of the lenses, as they were
individually matched to the lens head.
