You are correct Earl. I had in mind the OM-10 as the second distinct body,
while the OM-2 has the same body as the OM-1.

Second (to the OM-1/1n) lower-spec body? I believe the OM-2/n was next,
with the OM-10 AFTER the OM-2/n.
I think the EVOLT is interesting, closer maybe to the size one associates
with an OM, almost reminiscient of a rangefinder WRT to form.
