  Optical model potentials for elastic nucleon nucleus scattering are
calculated for a number of target nuclides from a full-folding integral of two
different realistic target density matrices together with full off-shell
nucleon-nucleon t-matrices derived from two different Bonn meson exchange
models. Elastic proton and neutron scattering observables calculated from these
full-folding optical potentials are compared to those obtained from `optimum
factorized' approximations in the energy regime between 65 and 400 MeV
projectile energy. The optimum factorized form is found to provide a good
approximation to elastic scattering observables obtained from the full-folding
optical potentials, although the potentials differ somewhat in the structure of
their nonlocality.
