Default G-Claron 150 lens barrel leftovers?

Does anyone have a Schneider G-Claron iris/body left over after putting
the cells into a shutter?

I have one & found I have some spare Rodenstock Ysarex 127 front cells
(negative) that fit. I am experimenting with 1-1/2 cells which gives me
a roughly 67 mm wide angle lens (for Speed Graphic or hat shutter). The
cells have various flaws but it's teaching me something.

Then it occurred to me that a second barrel would allow me to make up a
second one with different spacing to optimize after the first hack.

Does anyone have one they thought surely had SOME use?

I got a 135 Componon barrel - much nicer iris (16 blades vs. 5)
