It was for cameras built in Japan, sold to companies in Hong Kong, then
possibly used to track as grey market into the US. Some parts list had the
EXPORT plate listed as part number CA9378.

| I once received an original Olympus trim plate (disk) for the film
| advance crank that has the letters "<EP>" printed on it. I asked
| John Hermanson and he said it may have stood for "Export". The
| trim disk was part of a film advance crank replacement kit from
| Olympus for the OM-1n.
