You're welcome.

FYI about Olympus' polarizer markings:
The circulars are marked "C-POL" on the edge. The linears are marked "POL" on the edge. Olympus stopped selling the linears when the OM-2S and OM-4 were released.

My slim 49mm Hoya is linear, whereas my 67mm Hoya and 72mm Tamron are
both circular. The 67mm Hoya and 72mm Tamron have, respectively,
"PL-CIR" and "C-P.L" written round their edges.

It might be reasonable to conclude that if a PL does not have "PL-CIR"
or something similar written on one of the two rotating rings that it is
a linear PL.
