It sure is!!

They must have stopped including the extra L-socket between numbers
01169 and 02749. Does anybody own a Belplasca with a number in between?

I have one - and they are quite hard to find. There are, by the way, two
different models. The older one (which I have) has a metal frame, very
late ones are plastic. (the lenses, however, are ALWAYS glass).

Here's the latest list for your reference. Users listed here are 
encouraged to send me any missing details. Please send off-list to
conserve bandwidth, I'll post a summary when there are major 
changes or interesting trends.
