If the lack of a letter preceding ZUIKO implies the lens is multicoated then
all of the fisheye lenses, all of the shift lenses, and almost all of the
macro lenses are multicoated (I've seen one manual version F.ZUIKO MACRO 1:4
f=80mm on ebay). For the "standard" lenses I suspect you are right Moose.

I think Zuikoholics here and elsewhere have confused two entirely
separate events that happened to overlap in time.
The nose ring change from x.ZUIKO to plain Zuiko, without the prefix
letter, was a specific indication of an engineering change to multicoating.
The change from silver nose to black nose was a cosmetic design change,
unrelated to what was inside the lens.
Can't prove it, but that's what I've concluded from the endless info on
this point that I've encountered.
