I think you're close with option #1. However, the aperture ring is from a Super-Takumar, as is the front ring with the nomenclature on it (somebody school me on the terminology here). The focusing ring is from either a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar or an SMC Takumar. It looks to my like that particular lens was built with parts from at least three different lenses.
