Do you know of a usable exploded view, or views?

Search "Praktica cross section", for example:

Thank you. Interesting, but I am Iooking for those official sketches. I only got a very low resolution photo of these.

I already got a service manual, but that lacks such a view.
I could "explode" one of my camera samples...

The search terms I've used on google:
Praktica L service manual; Praktica L repair manual; Praktica L IPB; Praktica L parts diagram.
I don't think one exists but if it dies a factory authorized service shop still open for business might have one.

The exploded view exists, within the official repair manual. But in the only pdf file online, those pages missing; and a photo on the net of these pages is not readable.

Earlier this afternoon, as I was reviewing my old reference pictures, I accidentally found the proper way to remove the lens mount plastic ring.
Inside the mirror box, there's a slot which gives access to a hole that goes through the mount. Using a small curved pick and a reasonable level of forces, the ring can easily be pushed out.
