For the central crops yes: The left one should be the Zeiss, the right one the Samyang.
Corner crops look fairly similar, but I would also guess the Zeiss to be left, and Samyang right.
Problem with the SAmyang is that - after a decade of manufactring it - they still have the same sever centering problems they had a decade ago. A few moth ago I bought one - again it was severly de-centered. One corner very sharp, the other one really blurred (not pixelpeeping, but simply blurred). Same as a first sample I had tested around 2011 ... So I gave it back and bought the Sony 1.8/85mm instead. Which is not decentered, and a decent lens on the A7RII ...

I agree Tak on left, only because those are magnified a little more, indicating a longer focal length. Not so easy to say.

And....
According to my notes and hour of pictures, you arre wring, Samyang is the left column.
But after your comments, I have checked on the full res samples, and the wider ones corresponds to the right column, so I am not sure
Anyways, as the lenses are very close, I need to do other tests. If I cannot see a strong difference in favor of the Takumar, I may also sell it in the big clearance I am planning.

Or Samyang 14mm could be slightly longer than Asahi 15mm...

Yes, I went to the 6D. Just because it was a big bargain : paid 200 EUR for the 6D and 150 EUR for the Samyang. The Samyang has a slight trace on the coating (curious, like something greasy that I could not remove, but of course not seen on pictures), and the 6D had a broken fosing screen... in fact in fack the guy just pushed the button to release the focusing screen, so it took me less than 20 sec to get the 6D fully working. I added 30 EUR for chinse two-batteries+charging dock and another 30 EUR for chinese grip.
And the 6D allows me to use the Samyangs, I now have the 14/2.8, 2the 4/1.4 (paid 270 EUR) and still the 35/1.4. All of these recent aquisitions are due to the fact I fell with the 5D and Samyang 35/1.4 this summer at Gran San Bernado pass (between Italy and Swissland). The Samyang was stuck, no aperture move, and I had to replace it. I found the 6D, the two other Samyangs, and last week I tried and successfully repaired the 35/1.4.
