I've parted this set out several times before and never caught this. I hope that means the others were different. Pics to follow, but not sealed. I didn't see this coming.

The part with the groove was definitely showing up in sets in the very early
90s, so it is probable that the set could have included the tiles with the groove
at some point. However, maybe the green version of this part had not been made
with a groove yet. I have found other evidence that the green version in some
sets was still the 'a' variant at this time. It is worth noting that
these parts were changed from the 'a' variant to the 'b' variant
in 2010.

I think the best thing to do for now is add the 'a' variant as the part
in the Regular Items section and move the 'b' variant to the Alternate
Items section.

Cheers,
Randy

One of my customers confirmed he got grooveless ones. The other could not answer
because he built something and gave it away.
