how could they even be the same optical design if one is a 70-200 and one is a 70-210?
These two lenses share nothing....

To much nomenclature, too little time. Anway, I know that at the time we had two lenses on the shelf which appeared to be the same, and we were told were identical construction with the exception of the coating difference, we were told the Pentax lens was multicoated, though I am probably mis remembering the details. The pictures on Boz's page are what I remember seeing.
