Default Wollensak Raptar LE-2(2) Lens

Just got one of these, what with the LE-2(2) designation?
It is a 4.5,
10inch (254mm) lens, it has coated optics. The box it came
in states
it was manufactured in 04/56 and that it was made for the
US
Army(signal corps). I have seen a type of wollensak
lenses, but I am
lost on this one.

You might search for old military technical manuals on
photography, the designation may show up there. The military
had a great many lenses of all sorts made by contract. I
don't have specific information about this one.
