Definitely aftermarket coating..all 4 visisible surfaces (front and
back of front and rear cells) all have the same uniform bluish sheen.
There is a kind of bloom on a small patch near the edge of the front
surface of the rear cell (not fungus, more like a [desaturated
colors] oil stain) that ROR and a alcohol-based lens cleaner won't
budge. But it's almost invisible looking through the cell, so not to
worry.
