Unfortunately, I don't believe any of the 135/3.5's were MC.
I have a lens identical to the above auction, and with an even
higher serial no.  But, alas, it's also SC.  (My lens can be
seen at:

I'd bought mine on a whim, because of the labelling AND because
it appeared to have a beautiful green reflection(!), which,
sadly, turned out to be from the MC filter mounted on the lens.
Drats! (Oh well, it's still a fine, fine lens.)

Btw, I've seen late production 135/3.5's with serial numbers
as high as 403xxx.  The bad news: all were SC. :-(

Cheers,
