The Velostigmat is a Tessar-formula design. So in theory, this method would work with any Tessar design. In practice, who knows? It would depend, at least, on the physical design of the lens barrel in question.
Long ago, I did own a 12"/4.5 Velostigmat with the soft-focus ring. But in those days, soft-focus was completely out of style, and I never tried it. So it goes!
