Relativistic /ital p/-/sup 40/Ca elastic scattering observablesare calculated using relativistic /ital NN/ amplitudes obtained from thesolution of a two-body relativistic equation. Results at 200 MeV are presentedfor three sets of /ital NN/ amplitudes, two with pure pseudovector coupling forthe pion and one with a 25% admixture of pseudoscalar coupling. Differencesbetween the predictions of these three models provide a measure of theuncertainty in constructing Dirac optical potentials from /ital NN/ amplitudes.
