Richard the camera does not "know" the aperture to display it. The OM2SP only controls the aperture by stopping down from what is set. With that camera you normally set it to the minimum aperture so that the Programme mode has the full range of apertures available to use, but a clever part of it is that it will work from whatever is set.

It just dawns on me that the OM-3 is a manual exposure camera. I mean, I was just assuming it is an OM-4 with a mechanical shutter.

Oh...

I have always just use the auto-exposure/spot mode on the 4T. So for fun, I switched it to the manual mode.

Hmm.... the shutter speed shows up (but not the aperature!)! I thought this is one of the oft-requested features of the OM-4! So if there are enough space on the display, the OM-4 *could* display both the shutter speed and the aperture?
