Well, I'll chime in with my understanding (which is probably wrong 8^> ).
Each Zuiko starts at an index serial number (which I was always under the
impression was the number 100,000). Thus, the first production model of (say)
a 35/2 would be either serial number 100,000 or 100,001 (not sure which). A
40/2 can have an identical serial number to a 35/2 (or any other Zuiko) since
they all start from an index number. It's the serial number of the model, not
of every different lens configuration in the OM System. (Imagine what a
nightmare of tracking *that* would be!)
