4.5 Volt straight track (p/n 3228), different versions ?

Today, I was looking at a 6761 with the thought of parting a few out. That set
contains two parts that I would describe as a 1 x 16 tile with a raised serated
edge lengthwise on the top. Examination of the bottom shows a p/n of 3228.
Partsref tells me that 3228 is 'Train Track Straight - 4.5 volt'. So far, so
good.

The instructions for 6761, along with a picture on the 6761 box back, show the
part with four small lengthwise indents (or cutouts) under the serated ridge,
near the top of the tile. One on each end and two in the middle. The actual part
does not have these. Apparently the indented part existed (for the box photo).
Are there two slightly different versions of 3228 ?

(...) part (...) Yep. The non slotted ones are from sets that did not use it as train track, as the ties fit into the slots. I believe that 6761 is not unique in having pieces like this, but don't hold me to it! James P (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
