Kodak Bantam Special - Series V or Series VI Filter?

I'm a sucker for a red filter when shooting B&W and want to get one for my Bantam Special (Ektar f2 lens). I'm not sure if I should be looking for a Series V or VI version - I think it's a VI but before I head off into buying mode, I'd like to be sure.

Is anyone able to advise? I have looked on evilBay and there are copious Series V sets, but very few Series VI, and one Series V that did catch my eye, is the adapter and the filter, which is exactly what I want. Don't want to be buying the wrong thing though, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Short answer: You need a 31.5mm push on series VI adapter ring and series VI filters. If using a lens hood, you need a series VI-A lens hood which is specifically for the Bantam Special, and is smaller in diameter to clear the camera's door.
