The other differences are due to the fact that the two sides of the scope are labelled quite differently...The older version (my example has serial nr. 120781) looks like this:right side (from EP):        KOWA (logo centered in italics & red)PROMINAR (in white large letters)FLUORITE LENS TSN-3 (in small letters matching the width of last row)left side (from EP):PROMINAR tsn-3 (white large letters)FLUORITE LENS (white small letters right aligned)The new version looks like this:right side (from EP):KOWA (logo left aligned in italics & red)PROMINAR (in white large letters)MULTICOATED (white small letters) FLUORITE LENS (red small letters)TSN-3 (small letters right aligned)left side (from EP):looks just like the right side except for the KOWA logo being to the left of the PROMINAR lettering instead of aboveJoachim</blockquote>
