As you can see on the Macro-Adapter's picture, there is a flange missing at the top of its bayonet, which is the bottom on the normal camera bayonet. As you can also see, the way the screws attaching the bayonet are placed will make it very difficult to rotated it. http://www.photo.net/bboard/big-image?bboard_upload_id=14557584 I'm sure that the Macro-Elmar's cam and bayonet are quite different than on other lenses at 180 degree of the normal contact point with the camera rangefinder wheel cam.
