There seems to be a bit more detail in this photo.  From it you can see that
the little gold tabs at the 7 o'clock position are actually behind and below
the surface of the mount, and it appears there is a series of them.  The
diameter of the element also appears to be too small to accomodate the
size of the large rear element of the 50/1.2 lens.  Perhaps this is just
a teleconverter of some sort.  Why would an OM converter need electrical
contacts on the OM side of it?
