Nikon made several of their rangefinder lenses in Leica screw mount, which is also compatible with the Canon LYM bodies. Basically any Nikkor lens that is screwmount will work.
I just compared the 2 versions of the 105/2.5, and noticed that the focusing of LTM version of the RF-Nikkors turns in the same direction as Leica and Canon (ie turn counter-clockwise to infinity when mounted), whereas the S-mount versions turn in the opposite direction.
The aperture ring turns in the same direction for both the RF and LTM-versions, ie opposite than the Leica.
you have to be careful, Nikkor RF lenses were made in Nikon S-Mount, Contax Mount, and Leica mount. Make sure you see an image of the lens, and that it is thread mount. Some Ebay auctions will show an S-Mount lens and state it can be used on a Leica with the correct adapter.
In 50mm focal length, the most common lenses are the 5cm F1.4 and 5cm f2 Rigid.
