Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6  Name: 4.5V Battery Train Wagon
* 
6-4 (Inv) 4.5V Battery Train Wagon
1 Part, 1977
Sets: Service Packs: Train

* Delete 1 Part bb0054 Light Gray Electric, Train 4.5V Battery Car Roof
* Delete 1 Part x488c01 Red Train Battery Box Car with Switch and Red Wheels
* Add 1 Part 3443c04 Red Train Battery Box Car with Two Contact Holes, Red Switch Lever, Blue and Red Magnets, Red Wheels and Pins, and Blue Roof

Comments from Submitter:
I don't know why the roof is light gray. The light gray one was released in 1980 for 7720.
We will never get a proof for these early service bags because TLG just shipped the parts, without proper packaging with the name of items on them.

Are you sure the roof is blue? It looks like the black roof was introduced before
this service pack, also.

I am not sure why these service packs are treated like this and I am not sure
how they should be treated neither!
The ID numbers for early service packs were just to help buyers to choose from
the list. For different countries and in different years 1977, 1978,... you can
find different numbering for the same service bag but you will never find a packaging
with the ID number 6-4 on it. Well, I did not after 4 years. Nobody sell them,
nobody have them. See
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=S&itemYear=1977

I think since 1980 (1979?) TLG began to give them proper ID number and this service
bag became
 
Set No: 1106  Name: Battery Tender
* 
1106-1 (Inv) Battery Tender
1 Part, 1977
Sets: Service Packs: Train

So the roof should be blue as 1106-1.

*Should* does not imply knowledge. It either contained it or it didn't.

If you are not sure that 6-4 had a blue roof, then maybe we need to have an inventory
note attached to it.

For these service bags, nothing will apply knowledge, unless if somebody ordered
them in 1977-79 and recalls what he got.

Based on the listings on Ebay,...I have been following, I have always seen blue
roof with red battery box. On the other hand all black battery boxes had black
or blue roof.
(excluding listings including several battery boxes)

Heck, for that matter, are you even sure that this service pack came with a red
battery box car?

Just kidding. You are probably right. I will get the inventory updated.

By the way, I think you still have some inventories for some of the battery box
