Yes.

For those who want to see it, see Lager
Volume II(1994), page 71 and
Cyclope Nr 2 - Printemps (Spring) 1990
page 56-59
Un "inconnu" chez Leitz, le Summar 9cm f/1,5
de nulle part. par Claude Bellon.

He said that he made a test of both the 
Summar 9cm (541056) and Summarex 8,5cm.
Result : the 9cm is a 8,5cm.
It was a mistake that was corrected after.
