You've just hit on my pet peeve with the approach of using the most
official numbers for LDraw parts -- often, the most official number is
*not* the one you find stamped on the part. This will be true if:
- You are looking at a multi-part part, such as a hinge or the dinghy o
r the 2x2x11 column.
- The 4-digit number of an older part has been replaced with a newer
five-digit number. I've had sets containing some parts with the old
number, some with the new.
At least, the old (or new) number should be referenced on a 0 KEYWORDS
tag.
