However on checking the correct way around (looking from the outside in ) then the lens numbers are indeed a perfect match. Thanks for all of the interesting info. BTW the 51.9 N on the actual lens head appear to be scratched on to the side of the actual black internal lens tube , which holds the lens elements.
