Tested with two Pentax bodies. I'm not sure if it is possible to improve the recognition of manual lenses. But now it look pretty generic and not suitable for e.g. lensfun.
The lens is physically labeled as:
BEROFLEX -5°- 1:8 f=500mm ⌀67 846585

It is a fixed 500mm zoom lens, the aperture reaches from 8 to 32.
As the raw files are rather big, I've uploaded them to: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3jxyf0free1oewb/AADbZD8kV07dGNTRNxoUxsFRa?dl=0
I grant you all rights to use them for the further development of exiv2 or other FOSS software.

Thanks, Simon. I'll investigate and update this issue report.

It is not possible to identify manual lenses since they do not communicate with the camera body. Hence there are no lens metadata available in the file to help identification.

I don't know what a manual lens is. However if there is no metadata, nothing can be done.

This comment on #1141 seems equally valid for this issue. http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1141#note-4
