Lightroom Classic does not correctly identify Tokina AT-X 24–70mm F2.8 PRO FX on Nikon Z 7 II (LensDataVersion 0801)

Lightroom Classic fails to correctly identify and assign the proper Tokina lens profile when the Tokina AT-X 24–70mm F2.8 PRO FX (F-mount) is used on a Nikon Z 7 II (via FTZ adapter).

Instead of resolving to the Tokina lens profile, Lightroom shows only “Integrated” under Lens Corrections.

The same lens is correctly identified and mapped to the Tokina profile when used on a Nikon D750.

Environment:

• Camera (problem case): Nikon Z 7 II
  • Firmware: 1.62
• Camera (working comparison): Nikon D750
• Lens: Tokina AT-X 24–70mm F2.8 PRO FX (F-mount)
• Adapter: Nikon FTZ
• Software: Adobe Lightroom Classic (latest version)

Observed Metadata Differences (ExifTool):

Working file (D750):

• Lens Data Version: 0204
• Lens ID Number: 0
• Lightroom correctly assigns Tokina profile

Non-working file (Z 7 II):

• Lens Data Version: 0801
• Lens ID Number: 0
• Lightroom shows only “Integrated”

• Manual profile corrections do not auto-resolve to Tokina

ExifTool correctly resolves the Composite LensID in both files:
“Tokina AT-X 24-70 F2.8 PRO FX”

This suggests that lens identification data is present in Nikon MakerNotes, but Lightroom does not correctly map third-party F-mount lenses when recorded under Nikon MakerNotes LensDataVersion 0801.

Expected Behavior:
Lightroom should resolve the Tokina lens profile on Nikon Z 7 II files in the same way it does for Nikon D750 files with the same lens.

Unfortunately, my RAW files are too big to upload them here. Hence, I tried to extract the EXIF data and attach it as text files. 

I should add that this analysis was largely made by AI - it is beyond my technical understanding but looks plausible, so I hope it would be helpful to you. 

I would be very grateful if this bug could be fixed. 

With best wishes
