This might be the only time I will get to see the insides of one of these Dave, so great to see. Thank you.
PS - Why was the discussion around the centre panel (looks like the master cautions?), as you've outlined with the pink highlighter?

Many thanks for moving my posting John. Photos to follow.
In the meantime, just to reiterate that the 50mm lens is the fast f1.2 SMC M-Series Serial No.1446846
(not the f1:2 or f2).
Pentax did not make an M series 50mm 1.2
They made an SMC or smc (known as "K" series), and an A series only.

However these are rare beasts and you will have to pay more than a new DA15mm to own one ! Add to that the problem with flare you might encounter, I would suggest "old" is not better in this case.
You will do better to try and find a DA15mm or DA14mm. They will be better performers on a digital sensor.

We spent a week in Soller a few years back, such a wonderful place. Getting the little tram from the town to the port is great fun.

Can I add my one moan regarding the K10. Why is it not possible and done to show focus confirmation also on the top display or back screen.
With close up and macro work, peering through the eye piece whilst twiddling the focus action makes hard work.
It is even more frustrating when using a focus rail. Once the shot is composed, taking your eye from the eyepiece to check focus confirmation would be a huge advantage.
Can it be done? Has it been done? Am I alone in this?
Thoramay.
Having said that I agree 100% with John. If you are going to manually focus (I do, a lot), then get a split prism screen. I have never found the green hexagon to be as accurate as my eyes.
