  The diagrams in Marc's article are actual schematics of the lenses. They
are the same or similar to the drawings in Prochnow's book. The Pentacon
drawing looks like it might be a generic one from something like Cox's book
on optics, which may not represent the actual construction of the Pentacon
lens. 
  Some lens books show a single diagram for all lenses of this type despite
the existence of two or three variations.
