You have an early Super Tak and I have a late Auto Tak that are pretty much identical, including the back-to-front aperture ring. Takumar models tended to morph from one model to the next in a less cut-and-dried way than modern lenses. Take the S-M-C 135mm f/2.5 lens, for example. The second version is often argued to be a much better lens, but the only visible difference is the part number stamped on the underside of the auto/man switch!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Quick pic of my S1a & Super-Takumar 55/1.8 which appears to have the aperture running the wrong way to my Super-Takumar 28/3.5.
Shot with a K-5, DA17-70 and the built in flash:
