So are these lens assemblies designed by some optimizer? There are a lot of radical shapes in there.

  It's possible, but they are sufficiently regular I think some obvious hand optimization math could get you there. I've seen similar in other fields.

  Yes. Zemax, CodeV, and other optical design software is fundamentally optimization as a design strategy.
