Did some only have an MD sticker near the film rewind release button?
Maybe the sticker has come off.
I want to say there was a discussion about Morgan's skins, and he (or
someone else) said there were three different ways to designate an OM-1 MD.
One was the sticker and the two others are the typical button (although one
is an atypical shape).

HTH,
