I have a Schneider 360mm f5.5 Tele Xenar serial number 144 498 888 which according to Schneider's chart was manufactured between Jan 91 and Feb 92. It's all black and in a modern Copal 3 shutter.

It doesn't say Multi Coated though or MC either. But it does appear to be multi-coated by the color which this photo doesn't show very well. The Schneider site says all multi-coated lenses say so on the lens but this one doesn't. The site also seems to indicate that Schneider started multi coating lenses well over 10 years before this one was made.

Anyone have any perspective on this?

I don't know specifically about this lens, but with 4 elements in 2 groups the difference between single and multiple coating will be negligible.

Ask them. Simply send them a mail with the serial number and simply ask your questions. It will last a few days but it seems, they are able to roll up the history of each single lens.
