I've been curious about this 86368 piece, as it's listed as a minidoll
hair, although it has only been used twice, and once on a minifigure.

It appears to me it is just a new mold for the same piece, 20595, used in the
CMF banshee, Elaine Benes in Seinfeld, and others.

I just got my hands on both, and they appear to be identical. The images of
each model appear different, but I think they just are "shot" from a slightly
different angle/difference. Those differences are not present in the actual
pieces.

Is there a way to link these pieces, as is done for minifigure heads (closed,
blocked, hollow stud), or ideally could these be merged, with multiple design
IDs, similarly to how solid color and trans color pieces are merged when they
have different design IDs?
