I think I've seen lenses with the smc in red before, not very many, but
not 50mm f2.0's either IIRC.
However it's easy enough to produce the same effect using something like
this:
<http://www.krylon.com/products/short_cuts_hobbycraft_paint_pens/>
In fact there was an article I read somewhere that gave detailed
instructions for renewing the paint in the engraving on lenses and
cameras that had become warn or faded. That was some time ago, and the
Krylon product is relatively new, but there was a stick material, (maybe
it's no longer made), that was recommended. I can;t find a reference
to it on the web. Either way it's a relatively easy process.
Let's just say I'm sceptical that this camera and lens are particularly
collectible, or for that matter unmodified.

Seen on Ebay, this Pentax K1000: red markings on body and lens.
A fake or a commemorative series?
