I haven't seen this on ebay, whatsoever. Just wondering if my European
cousins have come across such an one, thanks.

No, can't find any either...
I guess you have already thought about using 2 adapters...
Adaptall2 -> OM and OM -> 4/3
or
Adaptall2 -> M42 and M42 - 4/3

Yes, thought about it, but wouldn't that affect infinity focus, maybe more?

I have looked a bit more in depth and I would personally go the AD2->OM->4/3 option as the rings look thick enough to allow easy manufacturing with respect to tolerances and registration distance in both cases.
I would not be too sure about M42 > OM (the mount to film plane distances are pretty close according to this page : 45.46 and 46mm)

I hope this helps!

I use 4/3 Nikon->Nikon Adaptall-2 without any problem.

I believe Tamron stopped making Adaptall-2 mounts before the Oly 4/3 mount was finalized.

I remember seeing, very recently, a London-based seller on eBay offering 4/3 adapters that could be used on M42/T1/T2 mounts. Haven't tried, don't know the seller:
