(...) 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 (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) 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 (...) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm not sure the appropriate quality-level of MegaBloks could be modeled in LDraw. They'd fit together just as well as LEGO-based LDraw parts. :( Steve (26 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. (...) AFAIK, TLG doesn't recycle numbers. (...) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
