I suspect the tested lens is derived from the Zeiss Sonnar design. If so, it's much, much older than that.

No, it isn't. Nikon has had a long and evolving line of 85mm lenses.
Just that any origin of however far back can be argued by anyone, does not make it very valid... Only when it is the exact same design/configuration.
Besides that, isn't "Sonnar" for the range finder cameras, which sit a lot closer to film?
