Well, there are silvernose and black nose versions.  Don't know about
optical or mechanical changes, though.
When I was looking to acquire one, I too had a hard time finding info
on this lens.  Not that there is really a lack of information on it,
but nobody's talking about it.  It's a shame, it really is a fine
lens, but I think it often gets overlooked in favor of the 21/2, or
cheaper offerings such as the 24/2.8 or 28/2.

>I chanced to look carefully at the parts drawings of the OM 24/2
recently and was surprised to see that there were significant changes to
several lens elements and related parts labeled the "improved parts
table"  <http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/PDFs/24mm_f2.0.pdf>
But I never recall hearing about there being two versions of the 24/2
nor what serial number ranges might be involved.
