Sorry if this question is a repeat, but have TV eyepieces, namely 40mm Plossls, historically had more than one location where they were manufactured? Thanks for any replies!

There is no difference. Al Nagler designs all the TeleVue Naglers,
Panoptics, Radians, Plossls, Barlows, Powermates, telescopes, etc. All use
lenses from different suppliers from all over the world.
The eyepieces, for example, are then asembled in factories in Japan or
Taiwan.
We test everything again at the New York, USA plant. The quality is the
same.
I hope this helps.
