All of mine say SMC on the filter ring.

I had a SMC skylight on one of the LX one day, and the guys at the
local camera shop were astonished.  Unless they looked very
carefully they couldn't tell there was a filter on the lens.  I
liked 'em so much that I'm in the process of getting all sizes and
all colors.  Just put an order in for a full set of yellow filters. 
They are, without a doubt, the best filters I've ever used.

It's big compared to the not so cheap Hoya SMC Pol as well.
