My arguments always said that there were sun-resistant trolls prior to the Olog-hai, thus denying that the trolls in the War of the Ring MUST have been Olog-hai. They probably were.... but I think there is a historical precedence showing that they possibly weren't.

Now that I think of it, the day-walking trolls of the Third Age may quite likely have been Olog-hai. Why else would Sauron have bothered to make them? But it still doesn't mean they were the first day trolls.

I have edited my post above to reflect what I was meaning to say.
