I use non-OM eyecups purchased at a local store for about $8-10 each. 
They are claimed to fit both Pentax and OM.  I like them since they have
a teardrop shape and give a close fit to the eye.  This excludes
extraneous light from the OM-1/2 finders much better than round eyecups.
They also have provision for a corrective lens.  Don't know if these
things are standardized or not but I measure the opening for the lens at
20mm.  Maybe 19mm allowing for a little clearance.
I'd be happy to buy one for anybody who'd like one and can't find it
locally.

Trying to find a nearly non-existent diopter for an elusive eyecup 1
will
be very difficult.  You can purchase an eyecup 2 with the correction you
desire. They work well for me and stay on the cameras better than the
eyecup 1.
