I have a '92 OM-05, and while I don't know if it was "UV cured" (which basically just speeds up the curing time), I'm sure it's the same poly finish as is used today.

I don't know in which year they made the transition, but I thought the move to UV-cured poly happened within the last 10 years or so.

There's a series of Larrivee factory tour videos on youtube narrated by an employee who worked there from 1998-2008.    In one of the videos he refers to them having used "lacquer" with a 2-week curing time prior to the switch to UV-cured poly.
