AFAIK yes, some has only the VSOE sticker, some the extra address
The Hamburg address is not only the Olympus Distributor in Germany
but also the central Europe Olympus division.
The addres should be 'Wendenstr 14-16'
Just for info: From an Olympus employe for over 20 years I got the information
that Olympus Europe has plans or already did it to outsource their
service center for cameras. (He has now since 5 years his own olympus
service buisiness).
The VSOE sticker was not only put on used and serviced cameras
I know from products (camera bodies) that where sold new
and had this sticker on the outside of the box/packing.
(late in the 1980ies)
