This seems to be their prototype number, if you would look in the OM System
Lens brochure of 1973 you will find that (almost?) all lenses have this
serial number, most interestingly, the pictured 300/6.3 and the 400/4.5 have
this number too. As these two lenses never really went into production, or
at least did not make their way to the market, it is well possible that
these are the only two instances of such lenses. Anyway, the number 100001
is often seen in pictures of OM lenses, but the 100004 one is much more
interesting, I think, as perhaps that does indicate that actual production
runs start the count after the 100001 number...
Cheers!
