This is the sort of information that my Olympus macro website is intended to
provide. It is still under development, but it does include:
"There are 2 versions of the rail. The original version, introduced in 1972,
includes white 1× and 1.5× marks for 50mm lenses and orange 1× and 1.5 marks
for the manual Zuiko 1:1 Macro 80mm f/4 lens in conjunction with the Slide
Copier. The later version of the rail, introduced in 1980, also has green 1×
and 1.5× marks for the Zuiko Auto-1:1 Macro 80mm f/4 lens."
