Comments from Submitter:
The seller with an unopened box has agreed to work with me to prove this. He says the images of the trailer on the original box are dark gray. We can supply high resolution images of the original box.

We already have good images of the box inventory, which shows Dark Gray:

Since the trailer does appear in Light Gray (see BL small image) and also in
the instructions (see pic below), it may be best to use the Light Gray part as
an alternate.

Does this request need to be rejected so I can add the part as an alternate?

You can leave the request as is for now. You can submit a request to replace
the trailer bed if you wish - that request will go through immediately.

There is another fly in the ointment, though. These two parts seemed to have
confused data:
[p=4820a]
 
Part No: 4820  Name: Duplo Frame with Small Reinforcement
  
4820 Duplo Frame with Small Reinforcement
Parts: DUPLO, Vehicle
Pending Approval

Why does the shorter one weigh more than the longer one (28 vs 16 grams)? And
to me, the large images of both parts look the same length. In fact, even though
some of the small images show what appears to be a longer version, they all carry
the same bed. Could this be a duplicate entry? Why is there no BL relationship
between the two?

There seem to be some other problems with this inventory as well, such as the
color of the orange bricks and the tractor.

The weight of the shorter one was removed. PM sent.
