The serial number is on the base plate, the manufacturing code (H 8 1 7 in
your second example) is on the camera back. Both parts are very easily
interchangeable between camera bodies, and there is no way to be sure that
one was originally installed with the other, whether on the current body or
not.

Writing about serial numbers. I've always wondered about this strange drop
in number from my last OM1MD to the first OM1nMD.
Might have to do with different factories, but it's a drop of 1 million. Any
suggestions?
