just to add, mine is a G,Zuiko silver nose, s/n 100912, which I always assumed 
was SC.  The hood is the slip-on, but purchased much later.

That's very interesting.  The 1999 multi/single coating survey of 
members of this list reported only six 21/3.5 lenses. I've placed the 
Fred Miranda lens and yours within the list according to serial number. 
  Does yours actually say "Zuiko MC"?  Are you sure that the name ring 
hasn't been replaced?  119500 also seems to be a bit of an outlier. 
Maybe the owner reported it as SC assuming it was SC if it didn't say MC 
(usual for later MC lenses).

21      3.5  103600  Chrome       SC    No              G. Zuiko
21      3.5  103680  Chrome       SC    No              G. Zuiko
-------->  1158xx  Black (CyberSimian lens)     ???
21      3.5  116100  Black         SC   No              G. Zuiko
