M3 number and year

984.201    to    987.000      1959

The III is a IIIc (probably from 1946).

390.001     to    397.650      1943 to 1946. (no more information available,
WW 2)

lens:

236.001    to      284.600      1935.

The Summilux cannot be from 1933, the frist version is from 1959 (which
matches with the camera).
