This is my third Sankor-made 2.8/135mm. All of them are different. It's not just the barrel style, the dimensions are different and I believe that the optical design is also different.
This lens has a fixed mount (M42). All the others I own have a standard T-mount (which allowed me to mount a PK mount for the sake of ergonomics)
Saiga (Sankor) F:2.8 135mm M42

With the two 105mm I own I took some beautiful portraits, and now they are among my favourite. I love the optical signature, sharp enough but very smooth, with a very pleasing bokeh. . . |
Yes, I can see why you like your 105. I also enjoy the rendering and compact size of my preset Spiratone 105mm.

My wild guess is that the 135mm with earlier serial has some kind of Ernostar design, like some early Komuras, while the latter one could have a standard 4G/4E optical layout. . . |
It appears I own versions of some of the same lenses you shared here. These are my copies:
#1
My two 135s both have a 55mm filter thread while the 105 has 49mm. All three lenses have a T mount.
I'm not well versed in optical designs, but I've disassembled my lenses for cleaning so I was able to count elements. I took notes for the two 135s, but forgot for the 105. But an ad from a 1963 issue of Popular Photogaphy magazine states the (preset) 105 has 4 groups and 4 elements.

These are good lenses, which I like. I may also have an Accura 105/2.4, which seems the identical copy of the 105/2.5.

Here are six Sankor-made tele lenses.
From left to right:
Mayfair Sankor F:3.5 135mm (probably a triplet)
Tokunon 1:3.2 f=135mm (??)
Spiratone Tc 1:2.5 f=105mm (likely a 4G4E tele design)
Accura Supertel 1:2.8 f=135mm (same)
Accura Supertel F:2.8 135mm (suggested as 3G4E)
SAIGA F:2.8 135mm (almost sure is a Sonnar from weight and reflections)
The four central lenses don't have the original T-mount (I replaced them with modern PK mounts).
The SAIGA at the extreme right is not a T-mount, it has a fixed M42 mount
Missing from the picture is an Accura Diamatic YS 1:2.5 f=105mm in YS mount, and an U.G.L. CONDORONÂ 1:4.5 200mm
A picture of the former was already posted in this thread, the latter follows:
