The date code is not inscribed, just (screen?)printed with red ink, as far
as I recall. You can not always depend on it, as the back may have been
exchanged, but it is probably there.

Finally, in the OM FAQ, it's noted that you can determine the date of
manufacture by looking under the pressure plate on the camera back for
a number. Although I haven't taken apart my OM-2 to check it, I am
reasonably confident that there is nothing inscribed under the pressure
plate (holding it up to light, I can see the reflection of the back of
the pressure plate off the camera back and there's nothing there). In
fact, the only number I have anywhere on the camera body is a six-digit
number on the bottom of the camera. It's a used camera so I suppose
it's possible the camera back was changed at some point, but is there
no other way to find out when the camera was manufactured?
Thanks!
