Augh! You're right! I've got three different versions, right here on my desk.
Specifically, I've got:
Brown tree trunks, height = 44LDU, no internal teeth/tabs
Brown tree trunks, height = 40LDU, no internal teeth/tabs
Black tree trunks, height = 40LDU, with internal teeth/tabs
This just blows my mind.
