Different versions of Komura 35/2.8 LTM

Since I got a hold of a new to me Komura 35/2.8 LTM lens, I try to find more info on it. I came across several different versions of it.
Mine looks like this:

and I found a couple older threads with pics :

They all look very similar but it seems that font is different and spelling of some words is different too.
Does anyone have more info on this lens and it's versions?

Komura had a lot of variety in their lens cosmetics (e.g., barrels, aperture rings, beauty rings, chrome vs. black finish), while the optics changed less often. Probably a matter of what their suppliers had at the time. I have or have seen at >3 versions of the 80mm f3.5 (same optics), 3 versions of the 80mm f1.8 (same optics), >5 versions of the 105mm f2.8 (2 optical versions), 2 versions of the 105mm f2 (same optics), and >5 versions of the 135mm f3.5 (2 optical versions). And, that's just the middle length lenses. Plus, many, especially the 135/3.5 and 35/3.5, were rebadged by other firms.

So, the Komura LTM lens portolio is many and varied.

Cheers,
