The part was changed during production. There are two versions of the
instructions, at least for the crocodile and I think for the 4563 as well. To
the best of my knowledge this part was not used in any other sets, ever. Too
bad, really, as it would have been a nice part in other colors (it's large, but
it's not a POOP, as it would be difficult to make it out of other parts)...

Hope that helps. There's probably a BrickWiki entry in there somewhere.
