I'm the one guilty of wondering if any were truly SC. The OM FAQ
http://brashear.phys.appstate.edu/lhawkins/photo/LensXCoatings.txt
seems to have limited data. None of the entries that specifically say shift
claim MC. The MC lenses listed among the shift lenses could be standard
35/2.8 lenses. Of the 6 lenses reported that specify shift, two specify SC
while the remaining 4 don't specify anything Only 1 of the 6 lenses has that
high of a serial number. Iwert posted that a ser no > 110,000 is required to
be the latest. He also apparently had a lens mount that says only "Japan"
rather than "Lens Made in Japan".
Gary doesn't give the serial nos. of the two he tested.
I guess the yellow purple reflection is what people use to decide it is SC.

Gary lens test cites an SC version, FWIW. Also on the Oly SLR FAQ, the
"multicoating cross reference for Zuiko lenses" implies that the early
ones were SC. If so, then the "X.zuiko" rule doesn't apply for these lenses.
I checked mine again, it's "Zuiko" only, and the colour is purple-yellow.
