[FPSPACE] Zond 2 - did it have a lander for Mars?

[Peter Pesavento]

According to Anatoly's "russianspaceweb,"  Zond 2 was intended only to be a
Martian fly by, so it appears (if this mission manifest remains current)
that there was no lander on board.

Can it be determined once and for all and over four decades later when it
should
not matter any more in terms of geopolitical prestige, if Zond 2 had a
lander that was
meant to outshine Mariner 4's flyby of Mars in 1965?
 
Documents and photos would be nice.
 
Thanks,
 
Larry
