There was never a plastic hood for the 85/2. In fact, I'm not aware of a
plastic hood made by Oly for any OM Zuiko lens.
Usually, where there were both metal and plastic hoods made for the same
lens(s), the older one was metal. The rubber ones are actually quite
well made, sturdy and good protection of the lens from bumps and bangs.
The base with the threads is metal, with the thick, high quality, rubber
part fitting onto front end of the metal part.
I have both kinds for different lenses and generally prefer the rubber
ones for actual use.
