My chart shows OM-2 chrome having no foam starting around 512,xxx which
continues up until 2N production started, possibly around 600,000.
OM-2 black no foam: 389,xxx through 567,xxx (approx. where 2N black
production started. ) Unfortunately, like they didn't learn their lesson,
ALL 1N and 2N HAVE prism foam.
