I think you covered this already, John. You said that light seal foam on the
back is a tedious but possible job for an amateur, but that interior (ie:
prism) foam is a job for a professional. (or something like that).
But can prism foam replacement be made part of a CLA?

putting off this prism foam job is a bad idea, at least on older OM-1s. This
makes buying an old OM-1, even at $150, much less attractive for me...
Sigh....
