The Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:4,5 f=4cm (40mm f/4.5) with M42x1/45.5 mount.
Despite its focal length being shorter than 43 mm, it was designed as a non-retrofocus lens for SLR cameras. Because of this, it has a rather protruding back.
According to the serial number, the lens was manufactured in 1949.
