The block diagrams show and this was backed up by seeing the lenses, that
they are all at least partial retrofocus.

Those names, unfortunately, are just names.  They've almost all been used
on lenses of different designs at one time or another, by the same
manufacturers, Biogon and Distagon included.  Tessar too.
