151888 has the dot, located close to the f/5.6 mark when the lens is at full
aperture, though (as with Walt's) I think it is open to question whether it
is brown, orange, red...
I was quoting from the instructions sheet (more or less), but to answer
directly, yes there are multiple versions. I don't know if they have
different aperture characteristics.

Subject: [OM] More on 35~105 variable aperture...
In reply to my query about the variable aperture on the 35~105, Piers
replied:
<snip>
Max aperture is f/3.5 at 35mm and f/4.5 at 105mm. The little brown dot
beside the white dash is the aperture index at 105mm (and the dash is the
index at 35mm)Piers <Snip>
I cannot find said little brown dot on my 35~105 (S/N 504xxx)... which is
why I thought perhaps the 35~105 worked the same as the 35~70/3.5~4.5, i.e.
the variable aperture with focal length only applied when the aperture was
wide open, and it became a fixed aperture from f/5.6 to f/22.
So I'm still a little confused - are there multiple versions of the 35~105?
Dotted and dot-less??? Hummmmmm...
