Well, Knut, according to SCB (Statistics Sweden), there are 21003 "Ola", 2129 "Ole", 13380 "Olle", 485 "Olaf", 2237 "Olav", 129842 "Olof", and 41579 "Olov" in Sweden as of today. This is of course no source for determing how these names were allocated for some 100 years ago, but perhaps it gives a hint that "Olov/Olof" is the form of name that swedes prefer?

But Kajukenb asked about misspelling. It seems more easy to explain Olo to be a misspelling of Ole or Ola than Olov etc. But who knows ...
