I´d also like to know about that. As far as I've heard Olympus didn`t use a 
straight line 
in numbering their items. So the serial No. doesn`t mean too much.

My guess is that the first lens of each type startet with No. 100 000, 
and then increased seperate from other lenses. But I`m not sure, wether 
there are some numbers left out.
Because there are for ex. Much more 1.8/50mm Zuiks than for ex. 2.0/40, I´m 
sure my 
former silver nose 1.8/50 with # 669xxx is older than my 2.0/40 with a 106xxx 
numbering.
