A few brief comments about this lens. According to
the serial number, it was likely produced around
1971 to 1973. While it uses the same optical formula
as later versions, unlike those later version it
does not have multi-coated elements. As a result,
you have to take extra precautions to avoid flare.
The lens appears to be mounted on an F2 with the
Photomic metering head. With that camera, there would
be no reason for the lens to be converted to AI. The
good news is that conversions are still available for
$35 plus shipping.
Thanks. It does seem an unusual item. I found a couple sold for around $160 and this similar AI version (probably with coating?) for $368: http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/i/06/4c/30/67_1_b.JPG
