Enlarging lens question

Hi all, I just picked up a 105mm Componar lens from an ebay listing and now that I’m looking at it I’m a little confused. It almost looks like the lens has a retaining ring on it, so I can’t attach it to my lens boards. When I look up info on this lens in google images I don’t see an exact match for it.

After doing some cursory research I saw some ideas that maybe you need a different kind of lens board for this lens, but I’m still confused about this retaining ring. Hoping someone can provide some clarity. Thanks!

Hello all, I recently picked up a Beseler dichro 23dga colorhead. I am realizing now that the 23ciii-xl that I have appears to be slightly different from the older models due to its format knob being on the left hand side. Other than that, it looks almost exactly the same. Does anyone know if the older colorhead is compatible with the newer enlargers?
