I don't think so. IIRC, the 0.95 mounted to an outside breech lock on the 7
& 7S, it did not fit the inner 39mm Leica mount, nor the earlier cameras.

Also, the SLR lens has to be mounted ahead of the mirror housing which
requires a larger diameter mount. Plus, the EF mount has a shorter film to
flange distance than the FD. That was so FD lenses could be used with an
adaptor, there were adaptor for several other manufactures mounts also.

The Pentax K mount had the same philosophy to start with, but it came out a
good decade before the Canon EF when electronics was not yet a
consideration.
