The 40mm summicron is supposed to be used with series 7 filters retained by the hood. The outside diameter, where the lens cap goes, is 41.5 mm as compared to 42 mm on the E39/A42 lenses. I think that the clamping mech on the 13352 polarizer would work fine but you might have to add a piece of tape.
