When Olympus came up with the mod for the flash ready LED, they also took
their remaining stock of 2S top covers and stretched the prism area.
If you look next to the meter switch, where the top cover goes vertical, and
then slants to the right to go over the prism, it's that short vertical area
than changed. On old cameras the vertical portion is approx. 1 mm high.
Stretched 2s tops are 1.5mm high. Stretched tops ran out long ago.
