After my premature rejoice regarding the 1938 Sonnar in a 1960s Soviet Union barrel, I found this:
Fast Russian Portrait JUPITER-8 50/f2 LEICA FED Zorki M39 Lens + Box!
There are some typos in the description [my emphases], see:
— but according to the pictures it’s a Jupiter-8M 2/53.
I strongly suppose, this (and probably any other) Jupiter-8M 2/53 was initially made in Contax/Kiev mount, but apparently the glass found a new home in a 1950s (?) LTM barrel. —— A hermit crab?
There have been five persons watching this item, but finally I thought, it’s inexpensive, let’s buy it

LEICA, FED, ZORKI
The Jupiter-8 is a 5mm f/2 lens with M39 mount (Leica Screwmount) that is the standard lens with many camera models. It is derivative of the pre-war Zeiss Sonnar.
