nikon 90 lens in 135 shutter?


i went to a new found camera store and saw a gorgeous wista classic (or traditional? -the one with the purplish bellows) with a nikon 90mm f4.5 lens, but it appeared to be in a nikon 135mm f5.6 shutter. he was about to close the store so i didn't get to pick his brain too much about that issue, but it just seems too bizzare. i looked through it and everything seemed fine with focusing. the aperature started at 5.6, which i guess isn't an issue considering i probably would never shoot wide open.
is this something that should draw upon some concern or is it just being picky? the camera is priced at a modest $1100cdn (i know you can probably get it on ebay for a little cheaper, but i'd rather support a local business if i can, especially when it's a used camera store). since i'm just getting into large format, i'd rather not get off on the wrong foot. what are some of your impressions about this setup with a nikon 90 in a 135 shutter? are there any specific questions i should bring up next time i go?
thanks in
