Subject: [Leica] 9 element 28mm question

I've just acquired a black 28mm f/2.8 M series Elmarit.  This is the 
version with the long rear element.  My question concerns the place of 
manufacture.  I have seen this type of lens marked Made in Canada 
(presumably by Commies?), but the lens I have is marked Leitz Wetzlar, Made 
in Germany.  I cannot find any reference in my admittedly sparse 
library.  Is this a less common version of the pre-M5 lens?
