One partial explanation is if one included the unnumbered cover
pages, the other did not. There may be variants. My manuals for
the OM-2n are 102 pages in English and 104 in Danish (including
the covers.) I got both when I bought the camera.
The Zuiko data sheets are unfortunately rather brief. There is
a bit more text than in the Zuiko interchangeable lenses group
manual, but not much in technical terms, apart from the DOF tables.
