Focal length isn't important?

50mm: black Tessar 50/2.8, Zenitar M2s 50/2, Flexon/Pancolar 50/2.0
35mm: S-M-C Takumar 35/3.5, Curtagon 35/2.8

these are only tips, maybe someone knows somethink smaller Smile

Dimensions: Base of lens (without mount) to front end: 32,5mm
diameter, thickest = 59,5mm

It is a triplet lens.

I have a Auto-Revuenon 1.9/50m I suppose it is a double gauss 6/4 design:
diameter: ø 60mm; ø filter: 49 mm;
base of lens (without mount) to front end: 35 mm

Here are some (height x diameter; both in milimeters)

Auto Takumar 35/3.5: 31.4 x 52.5
S-M-C Takum. 35/3.5: 34 x 58
Sch. Curtagon 35/2.8: 32.3 x 60.6
Vivitar Komine 28/2.8: 37 x 64
Zenitar M2s MC 50/2.0: 34.8 x 66.8
S-M-C Takumar 50/1.4: 41.6 x 61
Voigt.Col.Ultron 50/1.8: 37.5 x 62

Auto Takumar 35/3.5 is the smallest, but it isn't typical modern Auto lens, but it has a special lever, which must be pressed everytime before using the shutter button. So... iris is opened manually via the lever, but it's closed automatically via the aperture transfer pin.
