Joshua relayed once to me some deductive evidence that TLG has recycled part
numbers in at least a couple odd circumstances.
For example, the 1x2 plate hinges numbered 4275 & 4276 originally had only
1 hinge finger on the male part and 2 hinge fingers on the female part.
When TLG redesigned the pieces to have 2 and 3 hinge fingers, respectively,
they re-used the same part numbers for different molds! :-(

| (...) Yes, but I think only for _equivalent_ parts. I just discovered that there are two versions of the Street Sweeper Brush Holder (2578) - both have this number moulded on. Chris Dee (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) BTW, I wouldn't call this re-using part numbers, I'd call it making new versions of the same part. A version-number would be good, though. Steve (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) It's happened on at least one occasion. The problem is with the LDraw library, usually--a part was released with the wrong number, and there is a different part which actually should have that number. (...)
