Any idea which S/Ns apply to those with multi leaf designs ?

Vick,

The problem afflicting some Summarits is the peeling of the paint that 
Leitz used on the edges of one of the inner
elements. The peeled strip can be seen just behind the diaphragm if that 
has happened.

That is why my Summarit is on its way to DAG for a CLA

The earlier Summarits had a multi leaf diaphragm, which makes for 
beautiful bokeh.  Later models had a 5 leaf
iris.
