It depends, most of the lenses seem to have had their serial numbers rounded
up to the next 1,000 or 10,000 at the switchover. There are a few examples
where they actually restarted the count back to 100,000! There are examples
of OM lenses having serial numbers lower than a similar M-system lens. I guess
Olympus left it up to each design/production team to decide what to do.
