When I purchased my new (about 4 months second hand) R8 system all passports
were put into my name and confirmed as being the correct length.   Most
terminate in 2001 (i.e. 2 years on all lenses), but the R8 body terminates
in 2004.   This is what I would expect and I think a mistake may have been
made.   I notice that my new R8 passport has been altered by the person
hand-writing it, as if they put an earlier date and then wrote over the top
of it to correct the error.   And all passports are, of course, worldwide.
