Anyone know what sets this lens apart from another 28mm of the same year? I just cannot see anything different about it.

It is the same as the Elmarit 28f2.8 III. It was just part of the 70 year kit that Leica put out in 1983 (1913-1983). IF you find a collector of this kit - it can bring a bit of a premium, but usually they go for the same price as the regular ones. Leica made 2500 M4P's with this engraving and it was set up with 1-500 cameras with a prefix of L-xxx, E-xxx, I-xxx, C-xxx and A-xxx.
Standard, chrome M4P's too.
The rare version is 10-12 of them were the engraver was paid "a bonus" and made a "mistake". They read 1813-1983 instead and are known as the Napoleonic M4P's. I dont think any lenses were so engraved though.
