Subject: [Leica] Summicron 50 mm question

Hi All!

Just bought a Summicron 50 mm today. It is a 1969-1979 model (second
optical design). According to J. Eastlands Leica M Compendium there a two
version of this lens, a 7 and a 6 elements design. Does any of you know
what kind of lens mine is? Serial number is 2518961. 
This book also states the differences this specimen and the current optical
design so minute as to be of little consequence. Is this true? Erwin what
are your findings?
