Hi Andrew, John and all,

I'd like to know for sure, because I own an old pre-MD OM-1, but no
short-plate back for it :-(
>also FWIW if you attempted to place a back door with long pressure

Not quite... the door _will_ close, but the pressure plate will stay
slanted. Film seems to follow it, so you'll get a unexpected tilt (!) --
been there, done that.
BTW, that ruined one of my rolls, but it was good for ONE picture... the
tilt got the lower side of the picture (portrait orientation) focused
_closer_ than the rest -- so with a wide aperture I could get both the feet
(closer) and head (farther because the model was sitting ;-) in focus!

Thanks for the advice! But if I only remove the right hand guide screws, is
there any risk? I did so and made a test roll -- came out perfectly.
Cheers,
