You are right here, David.
This is the way the OM-4Ti was marketed in Europe, Asia and Australia:
Ti stands for titanium.
The same camera was only named OM-4T in North-America (and maybe
South-America too, I don't know that) to protect the market there from
grey import. They did the same with all other cameras starting with
the OM-20 and -30 (vs. OM-G and -F for those who can count until 10
only) and the newer compacts, and they still do now with their digital
and mju (vs. Stylus) models.
