No, John. In slides, the Noctilux shows in bright sun shine a 
similar rendition (from impression) as a rigid chrome Summicron
(or NF Summicron) from the 60ies, but with (a little) more shadow 
details.

It's more probable, that your lab did it's own interpretation. 
Maybe you try again with slide film instead of negative film ?
