Well, after querying (ok, begging) several list members for details, the upshot
is that while there are several different "editions" specifically
(1)"C240E-1984", (2)"C240E-1985 Printed in Japan" and (3)"C240E-Oct. 1985
Printed in Japan" (1) and (2) have the the same complement of lenses described
while (3) has three additional lenses (50/2 macro, 180/2, 35-70/3.5-4.5) added
to existing pages.

The "C240E-Oct. 1985 Printed in Japan" (3) has the following lenses, starting
with the 8/2.8 on page 110 and each batch between :: is two pages, ie
16/3.5 is on page 112 ->

8/2.8 :: 16/3.5 :: 18/3.5 :: 21/2/3.5 :: 24/2 :: 24/2.8 :: Shift 24/3.5 ::28/2
:: 28/2.8 :: 35/2/2.8 :: Shift 35/2.8 :: 40/2 :: 50/1.2 :: 50/1.4/1.8 :: Macro
50/2/3.5 :: 85/2 :: 100/2/2.8 :: 135/2.8/3.5 :: 180/2/2.8 ::200/4 :: 250/2 ::
300/4.5 :: 350/2.8 :: 400/6.3 :: 500/8 ::600/6.5 :: 1000/11:: telecon 1.4xA/2xA
:: 28-48/4 :: 35-70/3.6/4 :: 35-70/3.5-4.5/4 Autofocus :: 35-105/3.5-4.5 ::
75-150/4 :: 65-200/4 :: 100-200/5 :: 85-250/5 :: Macro 20/2 38/2.8 :: Macro 80/4
135/4.5 ::

deltas from "C240E-1985 Printed in Japan"
   added Macro 50/2       to page with 50/3.5
   added 180/2            to page with 180/2.8
   added 35-70/3.5-4.5    to page with 35-70/4 Autofocus

deltas from "C240E-1984"
   added Macro 50/2       to page with 50/3.5
   added 180/2            to page with 180/2.8
   added 35-70/3.5-4.5    to page with 35-70/4 Autofocus

p.s.There may, in fact probably are, minor changes between the different print
runs.
p.p.s. If Gary's right about the premium for the later edition, I guess I did
alright by buying a copy of "C240E-Oct. 1985 Printed in Japan" ($24.95) on my
first ever trip to Hunt's camera (north of Boston) last year.  It does have a
razor cut on it's front though.
