The Argus 0.95/33 doesn't feature any contacts so the camera doesn't know what kind of lens is attached to it and it cannot correct any optical aberrations. That's why distortion in this case is exactly the same for JPEG and RAW files, amounting to -1.25%.
It is not a high result but contemporary standard lenses got us used to distortion levels amounting practically to zero. Results of 1-2% in absolute terms could happen in case of older, double gauss constructions. It's a pity the Argus is closer to these older, weaker instruments instead of the newer, better ones.
