I’ve recently acquired a new mirror lens, and although every citation I can find on the Internet says it’s a T2 mount, it’s not. The lens’s thread diameter measures 47mm and I believe the thread pitch is 0.75mm. I can’t find a camera mount with those dimensions! See attached photos. It came with an adapter labeled CS, which looks like it adapts to M42 mount. (What does CS mean?)

Chinon CS mount, which is essentially the same as M42

47mm is perhaps Hanimex H?

CS can also refer to Contax Screwmount, also same as M42.

first used by the East German brands VEB Zeiss Ikon in the Contax S of 1949, and KW in the Praktica of the same year.

Could be a Komura Unidapter standard. Their M42 adapter is labeled "CS".

Why would Hanimex use a Komura mount?
The CS abreviation is fairly widespread & explained in the posts prior to yours, which also give the identification of the mount on the lens itself, Hanimex's own universal mount the 'H mount' screw
