As luck would have it, this very lens appeared on ebay. It's now on it's way to me. Based on the additional pictures, I would say this is actually a late Dallmeyer 3D. Both Ross and Dallmeyer "manufactured for the trade." Based on the rear diffusion pin and subtle notches on the rear cell, I'd say very Dallmeyer. Comparing the rear barrel of this lens to the 3D they seem identical. The flange position is just moved forward.
I hope to confirm once it's in hand.
Page 77 below shows the Universal Paragon to have the Dallmeyer layout of rear elements.
