Okay, I can certainly try to find some pictures related to the history of "OK" soaps for you. Please bear in mind that visual records from the 19th and early 20th centuries might be limited.
Here's what I could find:
* James Pyle's O.K. Soap/Pearline:
* It seems "O.K." was used in advertising for James Pyle's Pearline Washing Compound. Here's an image from an 1880 advertisement:

* Here's another advertisement for Pearline Soap from 1885:

* A more artistic rendering of a Pearline Soap advertisement:

* Tata Oil Mills (TOMCO) and OK Soap:
* While I couldn't find a direct image of the original OK Soap packaging from TOMCO, here's an advertisement for another TOMCO soap, "501 SPECIAL SOAP," which might give you a sense of their advertising style:

* Here's an image of a vintage cardboard box for another TOMCO brand, "Moti Luxury Bath Soap":

* OK Coconut Oil Mills Cochin:
* Finding a specific image of the "OK Coconut Oil Mills" from the early 20th century is proving difficult. However, here are some images of traditional and modern coconut oil mills in Kerala, which might give you an idea of what such a facility could have looked like:

* "OK Tata" on Trucks:
* As mentioned, the "OK Tata" often seen on the back of trucks was linked to the OK Soap advertising. Here are some images of the Tata logo on trucks:

* While not explicitly showing "OK Tata" with the lotus, these give you an idea of Tata truck branding. The "OK" is often incorporated into the truck art or painted separately. You might find examples of "Horn OK Please" which evolved from this.
I hope these images provide some visual context to the history we discussed! Let me know if you have any other questions.
