Boris,

I suppose if you can fix a watch you can fix a Compur shutter, but I'd never
attempt it myself.

The extra data on the lens indicates that it's a convertible lens.  As a
symmetrical lens (Symmar, get it?) it has two approximately identical
optical groups, one each side of the diaphragm/shutter assembly.  Remove one
of the groups (the rear I suppose) and what remains is a 370mm f12 lens.

regards,
Anthony Farr
