Michael,

You need a  90 adapter.

90 frames are coupled with the 28 frames in a M6.

There was no 28mm frames in a M3 (not before the M4-P in 1980).

In order to have the less possible frames in the finder, the engraved the
adapter like that in that time for the 28/5,6 screw mount, wich needed a
separate finder anyway.
