The difference is in how the center hole at the bottom of the part is treated:

  • Type 1: The hole is a simple tube (this is the official L-Draw part),

  • Type 2: The hole is a Technic cross axel receptor, old type, lined up so that the + of the axel points to the spaces between the studs, like a “+”.

  • Type 3: The hole is a Technic cross axel receptor, new type, lined up so that the + of the axel points 45 degrees off center, at the center of the studs, like an “X”.

Obviously you can build different things with the different versions of this part - has anyone noticed this before and/or have any idea what sets have what versions?

I’ve incountered the later two at about a year ago. I was mounting 4 in black of these on axels, and one was rotated 45 degrees. I never checked for part numbers.
