So, this has been bugging me for a while since I first saw the list of
Vivitar manufacturers included Oly. Does anybody know what lenses were
actually made by Oly for Vivitar?

Note about Vivitar Series I Lenses:
Vivitar did not make their own lenses.  They were made by other companies 
for Vivitar and which company made which lens changed over 
time.  Unfortunately, in their Series I line there was little or no 
distinction made when the actual lens manufacturer changed (and therefore 
its formulation and mechanical design also changed).  See this discussion 
about the Vivitar Series I line of lenses and the difference in them over
time: http://www.cameraquest.com/VivLensManuf.htm
