C as in Coated

Nikon dropped the red C on later lenses because by then all manufacturers were coating their lenses and there was no longer any point in indicating that Nikkors were coated.

with the SLR versions, coatings

With the SLR versions, the PC 105/2.5 came out around '73/'74 and had different coatings. I used this all day today and didn't need a hood (though I have one coming). Should have samples up tomorrow sometime, shot mostly wide open even outdoors. If you're shooting color, and/or need minimal flare, I'd go for the P-C, if they follow the SLR lens designation.

For the RF lenses, there is no difference, all are coated, all coatings approximately the same (some change in oveall coatings throughout the main decade of Nikon RF production, but no real difference for the user). The lens was the then adapted to F-mount for the SLR with no change until the 1970s.
