Reverse is true I have tried. That is Praktica flashes (cheapish) on OMs. I
am not sure of what stated by PopPhoto, for the reason of the "safety"
small lever that holds the two addictional contacts high till they are on
the final position on the OM shoe (on most T flashes). SCA adapters for OMs
and Prakticas are the same (Metz: x2x, Braun: 120, ecc.).

It happens in Italy too with discontinued lenses that are available in few
mounts only (the others had been sold all) and often OM mount is the last
to survive on shelves... I remember I got a Vivitar zoom of this kind, few
years ago.
