It looks like someone re-manufactured the switch instead of replacing it

auction from "emanuele@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" and the infamous "negresco"? They
both use the same puke yellow background, and in some instances, very
similar descriptions. At least emanuele@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx doesn't describe
every camera as a Nikon S2 copy :-)

I recognize that switch!!
It's *only* found on the rare OM-1[n] and OM-2[n] black bodies manufactured
at Olympus' secret Wyoming factory. They had quite a problem for some time
with the jackelope gnawing on the plastic switch levers, so the plant
management turned it into a very special feature as a unique "designer" switch.
