is 4106548.  But that number is _only_ for the yellow version.
Any other color (like tan) would be different.


I thought you had to break the two halves apart to get at the 30087 number.
Do you have to break it apart?  If so can you use them afterward?  If you
can I would say model both parts and use the separate part numbers.
Reference in the header that the part is normally used it combination with
the other and comes in yellow and tan, or blue and green, or whatever.

As for the other problems, the above still holds, but we would have to make
a single choice as to part number and reference the others if any.
