I have to check that when I come home....The bellows is, probably, my
least used piece of OM equipment :(

I know for a fact that I have seen it, I think. I recall having two
bellows for a little while, and noticed that theu were having
different markings. I sold off one (off-list), but I was not paying
attention to which since I did never use the markings for anything.
Still, I can confirm that two different rails exist, although I
cannot confirm what the markings are.
