The Zuiko in your reference was likely made for the Olympus FTL (introduced 
1971) which utilized the 42mm Praktica/Pentax thread mount. The earlier 
Olympus Pen series utilized a proprietary Olympus bayonet. According to my 
references the FTL was the only Olympus SLR to use the 42mm thread mount.

Prior to the OM series cameras Olympus made m42 mount cameras.

Auto-T 1:3.5 lens to be specific. I'm told this is a 135MM lens?  The
specs on these are different than on my digital and I am not used to
them as yet. It's got the exact same mount as the Ricoh TLS. from what
I can tell.

"pops right on"?
how do you mean?
All the olympus lenses I've ever handled were OM bayonet mount.  The 
Spotmatic is a SCREW mount camera--you thread the lenses in.  A quick bit 
of googling has revealed no reference, anywhere, to M42 Olympus lenses.

weird!
