Yes, that is the "original". I finally ordered one a couple of months ago from this very page. Took about a week or so to come, and it is the "original" Pentax. It works very well...
.... actually, I think that you made quite a haul. I have the 55mm/f1.8 from my old Spotmatic II. I like it very much. Actually - [due to some other things I am doing today] I like the old Spotmatic Pentaprism's split prism viewfinder probably about 100x better than the current K20's viewfinder, right now. I guess that there is a Katzeye in my future - but that is another post.
Congratulations!!! Hopefully the gentleman whom you purchased these gems from does not read or run across this thread....
