In fact I have noticed this as well. But I think even nowadays the box design
and the actual set do differ quite often, because the box design has to be done
before the set is packed and finished completely.

Have you been aware, that not only the sliding wheel block is differing but the
power pick ups are doing as well? The very early 12V stuff looks totally
different in comparison to the somewhat later one and will not fit the "set 107"
motor design.
You may compare them here:

??
Is this a joke or am I missing something? I always thought these were symmetric?
You decide the way how to mount the door in its frame. You may choose left or
right (at least when you are talking about the 3x1x4 door).
Kind Regards,
