| Hi. Brand new to the forum and excited to be a late Lego bloomer. My fiance and
I had recently bought a house and most of the belongings were left behind. I
noticed a giant box of Lego that looked to be in immaculate condition, so I started
going through it and realized I had a complete Lego 375 castle set along with
a bunch of other vintage complete sets. My question is, how do I distinguish
between the versions? I'm curious what version I have of the 375. It's
not 375/6075, the manual just says 375. Nothing else. I have attached a photo.
The manual is in excellent condition too. They took care of their toys. Any
help would be appreciated.

Sure,
Lego keeps track of parts being used in specific colors with Element IDs (Part
Color Codes). And sometimes update them with new numbers to float currently in-use
parts to the top of their filing system. Kinda like renaming an old Word document
to remind yourself that you're still working on it.
There used to be a naming convention for ID #s, but now (I think, 41XXXXX onwards)
they just go up in numerical order.
So,
Color - Element ID - Chronological Order (1,2,3...)
