Meteop 5-1 17-69mm lens order

[Brian Orme]

Would anyone happen to have a diagram of the lens order for this lens? I have the attached diagram, although there is a good chance I'm not reading it correctly, it does not seem to relate to the lenses I pulled from the lens. The text in the upper right translates to "Main lens". Are they referring to the "big" end or the "small" end? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brian

There's no guarantee that diagram matches your lens, the internet is full of misinformation, and I've never seen a zoom where the rear element is as large as the front element! So I don't think it's a reliable diagram.

But in terms of what it would mean if it described a real lens, the far right bracket of 3 groups would be the rear section of the lens, with the aperture placed in front of the rear 2 groups. 

Ily O. on RedUser seems to have a lot of old Russian lens info, or maybe ask a Russian lens broker like Rafcamera if they have any diagrams?

The Meteor 5 I see in the 1978 Volosov textbook is a little different with cemented doublet and a planoconvex in front. 

The 'main lens' is what focuses light on film, the other part is a small Galilean telescope of variable magnification.
