Indeed the Schneider lenses with K-mount only have Schneider name (for which Samsung proably has to pay a licence).
Samsung will deny it of course. Even the exterior aesthetics is the same (except a piece of rubber or two). There's more difference between Tamron and Pentax version of the 18-250 than between Pentax and Schneider/Samsung versions. BTW, note that the 16-45 has not been labeled as Schneider but as Samsung Zoom Lens.
