In LTM, you will find:

Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar, both uncoated and coated (T-marked)
(There IS one single solitary West German Sonnar in LTM, but that is a
conversion by the Leitz engineers in the later 1940's, using a Summitar mount)

In Contax RF BM, you will find:

Carl Zeiss Jena (Prewar), uncoated and coated (T-marked)
Carl Zeiss Jena (Postwar), uncoated and coated (T-marked)
Zeiss-Opton coated (T-marked)
Carl Zeiss coated (but not T-marked)

It IS confusing!
