Here is the Visoflex saga:

Spiegelreflexgehause	PLOOT (first version)			1936 - 1940		LTM only
Visoflexgehuase 	PLOOT (second version) 		1940 - 1951		LTM only
Visoflex I		OZYXO 16484			1951 - 1962		LTM
Visoflex I		OZYXO-M or OZXOM 16482	1954 - 1962		M

So, yes, there was a Visoflex I with the M mount.  The Visoflex II (1959 -
1963) and IIa (1962) also came in both M and LTM versions.  The Visoflex
III (1963 - 1983, the longest-lived of the lot) only came in M mount.
