Joshua relayed once to me some deductive evidence that TLG has recycled part

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.

Right.  In the LDraw parts library, these multi-version parts are
(typically) designated by appending a version-letter to the part's
filename.  The mini-figure heads are a good example of this.  3626A.dat
is the original solid-stud head.  3626B.dat is the newer style, with the
peace-sign stud.  3626.dat is a stub-file, because the B version was
originally released as simply 3626.dat.  Likewise, 18.dat is a stub for
the older numbering of 3626A.dat.
