You are certainly wrong in the generality, as many 1MD bodies were made 
with prism foam. More specifically, according to John H.-

Speaking of prism rot, I started keeping records of what OM-1s were made
without prism foam.  These are plain 1s not 1Ns. Serial numbers between
at least  1219832 and  1545751 had no foam.  Those are  the limits of the
range now, it may go farther on both sides.

Earliest cameras did have it, then they left it out for awhile, then 
they put it back in.

By plain 1s, he means both kinds, MD and not.

It doesn't really matter much if you are going in. You will know the 
answer when you get there.
