Yep. That corresponds with my experience as well for multipart molds. All I
was saying is that one CAN have inserts that vary... I can't recall the
exact example at this point but I have seen molded plastic <something or
anothers> that had the date (at least down to the month) they were made cast
in. Sometimes as numbers and sometimes as rotary pointers on a circular face
with numbers around the edge.
But the net net is I don't think either of us think these extra numbers are
color numbers.

| (...) Take a look at older bricks that do not have the part number on them. Other numbers are present--normally 2 digits. I am willing to bet every last Lego brick I own [1] that the numbers molded onto bricks (not the part numbers) are the MOLD (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-01, to lugnet.general)
