Thanks "Boriscleto", "Pres589" and "Pepperberry farm"
I thought so. My doubt was because a seller has probably mistakenly named a Ricoh or Rikenon 55mm 1.4, Rokinon and I knew Ricoh/Rikenon/Tomioka/ Kyocera /autoSears even auto Chinon (All those who made a same or very closely related excellent optically, superior vintage 55mm f1.4 in 60-70s), are all Japanese where as Rokinon is Southern Korean.
Now that I'm also confirmed that Mamiya F1.4 is not the same as Rikenon, the question remains how good Mamiya 55mm 1.4 is, as compare with Ricoh's same FL lens. Both seems to have good score (Almost similar here on the forum).

Does anyone knows who actually made Auto Mamiya / Sekor f/55mm 1:1.4 , M42 mount? And by any chance is it same as Ricoh 's 1.4 ?
And lastly, and if any expert is out there for this one: Is today's Rokinon from So Korea (A.K.A. Samyang and several other re branded name of same great lens company of today) same as that old Rokinon or Ricoh or whoever the original vintage company was or is it only a similarity of the name?

Look an older manual 105 to 135 prime, f2.5 - 2.8 that should cost you only few bucks then use it with an adapter on your camera. This should give a great portrait lens and excellent bokeh that you are missing currently. As said, try to learn and don't be shy of trying anything new. Read and participate in as many on line forums as you can. Use any occasion to follow an expert in the field under any title you can attach yourself even if pay is low till you get hang of things. Your lack of multiple flash and boxes,will not work at all against you as there are many high end photographers who are firm believer and follower of Ambient light "Only", with no intention to use any flash or artificial light all, that I would consider another extreme. Take it one step at times and as you gain more experience, flow of cash should help you with better gear as needed. As said, gears are complimentary; there is no substitute for photographer.
