Depends when the pic was taken Jeff, the Orfina PD couldn't have been around until at least 1974 (the L5100 start date - and then only in Omega Cal. 1045 guise).
I think the earliest PDs were around 1980-ish? On the other hand, the O PD was one of the first, if not the first, PVDed watches, so a strong case for it being one in the picture certainly.
