The MX and ME are the last ones with the logo.
These are also the last ones with a metal cap (except the LX)

Split image screens could be installed at the factory/repair shop as an
option.
I have a SPF with a non standard split image.

If you need a manual, you are probably not the right guy, and lacking the
proper tools
to do lensrepairs.
Or you should learn it on some cheap lenses first.
This lens is easy to repair, but you need some experience and the proper
tools.
