According to Olympus USA, there is a very simple way to tell if a lens
is MC. Look at the front ring on the lens and observe how the word
ZUIKO is inscribed. F. ZUIKO, G. ZUIKO, H. ZUIKO, etc., is an SC lens.
ZUIKO MC is an MC lens. The word ZUIKO by itself, with no preceeding
letter or no suceeding MC is also an MC lens.

According to Lee Hawkins' list of lenses the above is not exactly correct.
Hawkins' lists some MC lenses showing a leading letter and some SC lenses
with no leading letter.

for details
The very first entry on the list
16 3.5 103400 Black SC No Zuiko
is an example in question
