I've just bought my first silvernose, a 300mm/4.5. At least I think I have,
someone said something about aperture rings being silver. Only the edge of
the front element & the hood are silver.
You have a silver-nose; its serial number falls into the proper range and
your description of it matches their appearance.
I mentioned the Mamiya Sekor C "silver-nose" lenses for the Mamiya M645;
instead of a chrome filter ring, the leading edge of the focus ring on them
is beveled and chromed.
I have a 300/4.5 "black-nose" F.Zuiko which should be identical in
formulation, the only difference between them being the cosmetic
silver-nose. It is an outstanding lens.
