I also didn't mention the various Elmar enlarging-lens variations, for the same reason. The 4.5/100 V-Elmar was produced from 1960 until 1977 and was replaced by the 5.6/100 Focotar-2. I HAVE used the V-Elmar and it is quite a nice lens. Leitz has never made a 60mm enlarging lens, as far as my catalogues run, just the single 40, a number of 50's, a couple of 95's, and two 100's.
