Very expressive test.

Is it just me or is it obvious that the silver version wipes the floor with the other two? I'm a sucker for contrasty pictures, so maybe my opinion is biased?

I don't know why but I prefer the looks of black metal lenses. It has more of that soviet feeling.

err...nevermind...bought the lens...seller lowered the price for me so i couldn't resist

original price was 700 kuna (around 93€/119$) and seller lowered it to 500 kuna (around 66€/85$)
the lens is made in Lytkarino Optical Glass Factory serial number N6701130, inscription on the lens in Latin

Mine does. My J9 #6501253 takes M39-M42 ring plus M42-PK adapter and focuses to infinity on my Pentax K20D. I think the M39 versions (for Zenit etc SLR) and the L39 versions (for Fed etc RF) are different lengths, with the M39 being longer and fatter.
