It is from a Moeller 30/2x anamorphic attachment. Looks like a rear prime was fitted by bayonet mount.

Do you know the mount?

Proprietary probably, can't see any reason why an anamorphic would have a normal bayonet on it.

Kinda looks like Konica or maybe Minolta MC/MD:

Scroll about halfway down for good photos of the Konica and MC/MD mounts:

If that is Minolta, you would have to use an SLR with mirror lock up, like an SRT-101, and an accessory viewfinder, though.

Doesn't look like either Minolta or Konica, though they both have a similar cutout in one lug.
The position of this one is different from I either I think.
A photo of the rest of the lens (side view) may tell us whether this is just the anamorphic attachment or whether it is attached to an actual lens, such as one that requires mirror lockup, as noted above.

I was looking a bit further into this because it got my curiosity aroused and I came across a video camera 1/3-inch bayonet mount. You might want to do some research on that topic as well. That's apparently a mount used in various high-end video cameras. Just google "1/3 inch bayonet video" and you'll see what I mean.

I may be wrong but I think the mount attaches to a prime, or a system of primes, but its just guesswork


the shank of the mount (without lugs) is approx 75mm from the images

It may be an adapter to some other mount. These things look like they have a range of screw-on adapters for front-mounting - see the link.

Yeah, seen those. They are projection scopes for 35mm cinema or 16mm .

The 30/2x discussed here is more like for filming with a cine or stills film camera. Maybe for projection also as a 2in1 usage

Yes, Pentacon 6 (P6) mount lenses like the CZJ 180mm f2.8 "Olympic" Sonnar have something similar. P6 to universal M42 adapters are available cheap on ebay.
