All OM-Zuikos have two scales (white for meters and orange for feet),
so most probably it has not been an Zuiko OM lens. Only exceptions are
the 50 and 90 mm macros with one of the distance scales replaced by a
yellow reduction scale, depending on version (USA or global).
That leaves two possibilities: a strange Zuiko for another camera
(Pen? very unlikely!) or an aftermarket lens for OM.
I bet on the latter horse.
