I've handled quite a few OM bodies. I don't think there's any more difference 
than natural variations in batches of 
paint on OM-1 and 2 bodies.

I'm not sure how one could even tell today, as the paint on various bodies is 
all very old and had been exposed to 
different handling and environments. Even paint on a NIB early model might well 
not look as it did when new.

The OM-4s look the same as the 1 & 2 to me. The OM-3Ti is very different, and 
beautiful. The OM-4T(i) is also different, 
the paint is pretty enough, but more delicate than the earlier ones.

I've never seen an M-1 or OM-2s.
