Anybody can identify the mount of this Kinoptik lens, can it be used with Macro Four Thirds or APS-C cameras, and is this a whole lens or just a part of the lens?

It was made for 16mm film cameras with a 7.41 mm by 12.52 mm image area (Super 16), i.e.14.55 mm image diameter, so not even suitable for mft sensors needinmg 21.6mm image diameter. Of course some light will be also in a larger area, but there will be considerable lack of image definition and most likely vignetting. You have to try it out...

What I cannot see is a) focusing and b) an aperture scale (which my lens has).

I have a similar lens w/o ERAX written on it, performs quite decently on my mft cameras, but it was made for 35mm film and has an aperture scale. I had a focusing adapter made for it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kds315/albums/72157625265123123
