Maybe the photo on the Unofficial Olympus OM Sales Info File of the
top of the four shoes might help:

While it doesn't show the pins, it's obvious that all 4 shoes look different
from the top. Compare the top of yours to the photo, and you should be
able to determine which one it is.

It's no easy feat, but I work hard at it, Rob.

A test lasting only a few days is hardly a test at all! How can I assure
you that everything operates properly and nothing is "flaky" if I only test
it a few days??? I have to try it for EVERY photographic possibility, and
that will take quite some time. You wouldn't want it any other way,
would you???

Honest, Rob, it's not trouble at all!

Getting up in the morning is a risk. Crossing the street is a risk. Don't
be timid, Rob! Live life to the fullest! Be a risk-taker! Send me the
camera!

I throw myself into the path of danger for the benefit of all Zuikodom!
Yes, it's a personal sacrifice, but I'm prepared to make that sacrifice so
that you'll KNOW that your OM-4 works as it should!

Rob, only ONE of us can attain sainthood through self-sacrifice, and as
you so eloquently pointed out in your message, I'm MUCH further along
the path to sainthood than you. Therefore, sacrificing yourself is futile.
Stand aside! Make way! Send the OM-4 and let me get the testing
underway!
Regards,
Chris
