I have encountered a 135 Hektor in M that had an adapter glued or cemented on, so I think there were several ways to fashion the early M mounts. I looked up Stphen Gandy's website and he indicates that the 35 LTM Summicrons were made from 1958-60 which probably puts them contemporary with the IIIg's production dates. All in all- if it is not too rare a piece, it would be nice to use on the IIIf and the M cameras as it did come with the correct adapter ring!
