Hugo - the Protar V was not a convertible, so the lens cells were always matched and carried the same serial number. The (German, 1909 to 1913) Series IV and (always) series VII were convertibles, and every single cell got its own serial number.*
The Zeiss Dagors were made after the merger. Before that, Zeiss and Goerz were competitors with similar and competing products!
*Caveat: Pre-1909 Series IV was an f:12.5 wide-angle lens, and that type stayed in production with B&L for a long time after Zeiss Jena started "reusing" the name for the 3-element convertible f:6.8 to f:7.7 Dagor-type lens. That lens never really caught on, and production seems to have stopped around 1913...
