Actually, the front threads are on the inside, I think you were looking at
the first image, with the sun shade reversed and slid over the lens.

The tripod mount rotates on this version also, in that first image you can
see a small crome button on the side of the tripod mount collar, you press
to release and rotate the mount. However, it only locks in two positions
(Landscape and Portrait), while I suspect yours can be locked in any
position.
