The lenses were identical. The TLR was a 35mm TLR. It is highly collectible with staggering prices for the lenses.
 
the one i have presented is most probably prewar conversion... it's quite nice (heavy metal) but prone to problems because the mount is too complex (something with 3 screws that very quickly get loosen and so on...
but it works nice when collimated.
 
My early conversion is based on what looks like an Elmar mount. The glass is crystal clear,and the images have a warm rendition, It is a sharp lens.
