You have already posted on the L Forum that you had corresponded with E.Puts who answered you that there is no difference.

There is no higher authority than E.Puts on Leica glass and you know that.
So what's the point in asking the question here again?
If it makes you happy, I prefer version 1, which is what you already claim to have.
Your endlessly annoying snark in every one your responses is tiresome albeit amusing to yourself alone, but since you asked, I have the opportunity to sell one and get the other and wanted to hear other's info on the matter. That's all. Since you have little to contribute, you might go back and celebrate your future king's wedding, or something.
Adiós.

Any similar info regarding the difference between the 180/2.8 APO v.1 versus v.2, beyond the placement of the rear element to accommodate the 1.4 APO TC?http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/customer-forum/166485-question-re-leica-r-180-2-a.html

“1- I am very interested in what you are saying. I personally have an open contact with some Leica people which left the company and could not get much information such as yours. Even E. Puts does not shed any light on the different coating and optical changes...if any.
Can you please substantiate what you are professing to enable us accept your post in a credible manner? Or at least, if you can point us to any referencing?”
I too find this very interesting. Were these questions answered anywhere?
Thanks!

I think there is coating difference, but may not have anything to do with ROM or not. If you check Ebay listing, you can clearly see early 80lux has amber coating and late one has purple ones.
Sorry I can’t offer more insight here, but I agree that there is no performance difference as there is no better or worse with different coating (for character lens, low contrast of old coating may not be a bad thing) other than you get younger one with ROM which demand more $.

Leica changed the coating formula for all lenses in 90's.
