Canon rangefinder
Canon’s own mounts: the Hansa bayonet of 1936 that Nippon Kogaku made for it, and the outer bayonet of the Canon 7 for the f/0.95 and the Mirror Box. Everything else Canon made for a rangefinder is a 39 mm screw lens and is filed under Leica screw mount.

Alpa
Pignons made no lenses. Kern of Aarau, Angénieux, Schneider, Kinoptik, Old Delft and Kilfitt made them in the Alpa bayonet, in hundreds and low thousands, and the Kern Macro-Switar 50mm is the reason the bodies still sell.
