your No. 3 and 4 should be the same lens:
a Super Takumar is a Super Takumar, maker is Asahi Pentax.
however there is a f3.5/35mm Super Takumar and two versions ( one could say 3 ) of a f2/35mm Super Takumar ( and later S-M-C and SMC versions of both the f3.5 and f2 )
the f3.5 is a very good lens, I'd say a lot of micro contrast, very sharp, very small and cheap,
the f2 is good too, of course bigger and more expensive

Konica not works without butchering it, take any of Takumars.

I guess no matter which one , not depend from serial number.

With 35mm and MACRO use one has to get really close to the subject nearly touching it.

if they all are f3.5 lenses it wouldn't matter.
if not needing faster max. aperture i'd recommend getting it, it shouldn't cost much
if they are f2 lenses there is an early version with a 67mm, and a later with a 49mm filter thread.
earlier version may flare more easily and have less contrast, but may well be of more interest to some.
