That was pre-Spotmatic (6-digit numbers). Yours is post-Spotmatic (7 figures). AFAIK, all pre-spottie Super Takumar 35/3.5 lenses were in the 7xx,xxx range, while there are also Super Takumar 35/3.5 lenses bearing 1,xxx,xxx, 3,xxx,xxx and 4,xxx,xxx S/Numbers.
Then, S-M-C Takumar 35/3.5 lenses went forward (starting around 4,500,000) with 4,xxx,xxx, 5,xxx,xxx, 6,xxx,xxx and 7,xxx,xxx figures.
