The difference is in the male connector on the bottom of the part.  The
shorter version appears to be the same as the taller, just 4LDU-worth of
connector has been removed.

The current version is the shorter.  It's used in set #8247, Road Rebel.

Many moons ago on RTL, someone from Europe (I can't remember who
it was.) pointed out that the "horn" piece in Technic models is NOT
the same as the palm-tree segment, the difference being the Technic
version had inner tabs that would lock a cross-axle in place.  I
remember not believing it at the time and checking only to find that
it was true.

I haven't checked lately.  Are there *3* different versions of
this part now?

as evah,

Given that the 2 parts are different mabie we need a technic horn in the ldraw
library???
