(I recently bought a 6.3/18cm Leitz Photar lens, s/n 39651. Must date from around 1920, thus predating the original PLOOT by a decade and a half. But I bet there's a Leitz adapter ring for it, somewhere!) UOOND/16596 is the adapter ring to fit Leica M lenses to the Bellows I. I believe the thread is 42mm by 0.75mm but I don't have that data immediately to hand.
