This is also an article on the history of the OM that's free access and really excellent. By the guy that wrote the Martin guitar history book and I think founded Gryphon Music.

I believe there are big difference in Larrivee and Martin OOO's. The standard Martin OOO is short scale and has a 1 & 11/16" inch nut.

Here's a side by side comparison of Martin OM's & OOO's, in case your question wasn't Larrivee specific.
