Looks, like you are right...
Mine weights 648 grams without caps and I'm missing the additional System filter ring. The lens came in the plastic box.
I think that on the older box you posted I can read SN: 229xx, but I'm not sure...
Here is one 11 111 in older box with SN: 213xx
And here another wit SN: 261xx

So this is the original v1 optical design not the v2.It's logical since the bigger 2nd element design(new v2) looks heavier and has more glass volume.Rolf's later E55 model has a lighter metalic body structure for production cost reasons 
Everybody also put the optical design change in 1968 but we seen that is not the case

I agree. And when I study all the pictures, I see that all v1 lenses was made in Weltzar Germany (mine too), no matter they are 11111 or 11211 (maybe the PN has something to do with number of cams?).
The v2 lenses are all made in Leitz Canada and are 11211. But the switch has been made before s/n 2772619 - with this serial number Leitz switched to E55 filter ring.
To sum it up...
v1 has two separate front lenses and was probably manufactured only in Leitz Weltzar Germany.
That explains this quote from Puts LLC
| Quote: |
| This version had almost the same lens prescription as the first version: only the two separate front lenses had less thickness and different glasses were used. |
v2 is the version with second cemented doublet and was probably made only in Leitz Canada factory
The switch from v1 to v2 carried out probably ~1970 and we can narrow it now between serial numbers 2363985 (mine) and 2468270 (from eBay).
If I'm right the easiest way to quickly distinguish v1 from v2 is to check where the lens was manufactured, v1=Weltzar and v2=Canada.

The wiki on l-camera-forum is not error free... they used image of APO-Elmarit-R 180 for ELmarit-R 180 v2, so I trusted Erwin Puts Leica-M Lenses pdf from official Leica pages...

| In BRunner's original post, the lens is of the s/n272####(early 1974) batch and it too has the old optical design (v1) ... |
From the low resolution I interpreted the SN as 212xx. As this corresponded to Puts Leica-M pdf and serials on l-camera wiki....
Anyway, thank you for correcting my mistake. This proves, that you can't trust anything on Internet

So now you just need to buy a v2 one to compare it with the C/Y 135 one and all the others on your mega 135 test . 
Just kidding...
Apparently there is a wide open performance difference between the two as I read in the net. Don't know about other differences(contrast, infinity perfomance e.t.c)????
My copy is very sharp wide open .....
quick shot v2 2.8/135 @2.8
