Yes, in my experience the 24/2.8 SC is sharper than the MC, the 28/3.5

as my S/N >1,100,000 but the 50/1.4 SC with S/N 3xx,xxx was very poor
at f1.4 when compared to the others.

In Gary Reese's lens tests, the SC 85/2 seemed to be formulated for sharpness wide open through about f8, whereas the MC formulation favored the smaller stops. The larger apertures are where this lens is more likely to be used, so that the older formula seems to me to be the more interesting.
