Does anyone have some example images taken with this kind of lens? I'm curious what the result would look like.

This blog post has some sample photos with a collapsible 5cm f2 summicron that looks like it's from the same era:

I have some lenses (Nikon 35mm and Pentax 55mm) that are identical other than having single-coating (thoriated glass) or multi-coating (non-thoriated glass).

The multi-coated versions all have a little bit more saturated colors. Other than that I have never noticed a difference.

I have a Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 with significant yellowing from the thoriated element. Apart from the yellow cast there’s no effect:
