Sorry, I didn't know that, I thought it was an LDraw issue.

It's also the id currently in use by TLC and I think it's easier to
mimic their system as close as possible, than to reinvent a wheel.

Aliasing is the reply. 44237 and 2456 would both lead to the single page
and the sets containing both 44237 and 2456 would be referenced from it.
This is not the only example, TLC had multiple mold numbers from same
looking parts in the past (transparent, chrome etc).
BTW: Is there any official way to get TLC's Bill of material for each
released set? That would really simplify the inventorying.
