You're spot-on Santeri. And the reason I said one might technically stick to
the "correct" numbers is two-fold: on the off-off-off chance some renderer were
to ever render based on the type of plastic (ABS versus polycarbonate), and also
Steve's point that the numbers might matter. There are also the item numbers in
the back of building instructions, which will correspond to one design ID or the
other. In that case, however, some of the LDRAW team have begun to create
shortcut files for Item numbers, and those tend to already take care of the
issue for you.

| (...) Nope, 50746.dat is merely an alias to 54200.dat and as such the parts appear identical in MLCad (and in any other editor one might use). If I recall correctly, it was something to do with the plastic used to mold the parts but don't trust me. (15 years ago, 19-Oct-09, to lugnet.cad)
