Versions and how to tell them apart

Questions

What should I check before buying an OM-2?

Confirm the light seals have been replaced, verify the meter and auto exposure react correctly across apertures, and test all shutter speeds, since electronic and seal faults are the most common reasons an otherwise tidy body sells cheaply.

Is the OM-2 the same as the OM-2n?

The OM-2n is a later revision of the OM-2 with refinements to the metering and flash system; both share the OM mount and similar handling, and the OM-2n generally commands a modest premium at auction.
