What lenses are these?

Hello, everybody!

I�d like to know which lenses these are. The picture comes from an ad of about 1932, not earlier.
For those not so familiar with cin� cameras, it�s a Paillard-Bolex, model H 16.
In the middle position I recognise the Wollensak Cin�-Velostigmat of 1" focal length, 1:1.5 most probably.
In the upper position maybe the Wollensak Cin�-Velostigmat 2"-3.5 (?)
In the lower position one would have a wide-angle lens but here I am completely confused.

Any knowledge?

Think I�m unravelling the mystery: Two normal focal length lenses, if not three. That�s how we�re fooled.

In the middle (taking) position the Wollensak Cin�-Velostigmat, 1" f/1.5
In the upper position the Goerz Kino-Hypar, 25mm f/2.7, a triplet
In the lower position possibly the four-element Bell & Howell Lumax, 1" f/1.9, made by Taylor, Taylor & Hobson

The photograph appears to be made around 1939 when the Goerz became available.
