 And secondly, the TC came without a front-cap. Was or is there any such
thing?
 I'd imagine it would have to look like a modified body-cap, as it would have
to
 cover the protruding front element too.

Congratulation Soenke,
You get the deal of the week award.  One sold recently for $275 usd in a local
camera store.
Rattle:  I think this was covered a few months ago, and conclusion was rattle
was OK.  Mine rattles.
Front end cap:  Someone had a great idea, (which I did to mine).  Take a body
cap and cut a hole in the center.  Epoxy a rear lens cap to the cut out body
cap.  Works great, although sorta crude looking.  And yes. OLY did make an
original cap.  Very hard to find.  Although I am sure you could order one from
OLY.
