No the later E2/3 etc Rollei hoods are made to fit snugly if the lenses are closer together the later hood would probably foul somewhere and not fit. Remember they have cutaways for the aperture and speed doals as well as the viewing lens.

Ian you have me confused and I'm wondering if you're mistaken? I have a 3.5E3 and recently bought a Bay II hood for it and it fits just fine. I also have John Phillips' The Classic Rollei - A Definitive Guide and on p. 247 he lists just one Bay II metal lens hood. He keys that hood to the 3.5E, 3.5F (1958-60 and 1960-76), 3.5E2, Magic I, 3.5E3, and Magic II.
The lenses on a 3.5E2 (p. 181 in Phillips) are closer together than the lenses on a 3.5F (p. 196 in Phillips) or my 3.5E3 yet they all take the same standard Bay II hood...

You said it was a 3.5E type 1

Bay II is only the size, so there may have been variations in the actual hoods.
