This is not scientific test, that's kind of boring test for me :D so it's not represent all copies of both lenses.
My friend allow me to test his Leica elmar 100/4 macro non bellow version against my Kiron 105/2,8
Leica said to be 1:1,75 maginification, while Kiron 1:1
on body it's written 0,6 mmeter MFD, but it can be turned to closer ( about 0,5 in Kiron)
Kiron has 0,45 MFD
Over all Leica has better control of light & lower contrast while Kiron high contrast & little bit sharper

I shot some of this dragon fly, but it cannot be good for comparison 'coz it was in different place also different setting, but I think Kiron is sharper
