  That is not true for series 1 up to 15 where all leaflets had a unique numbering,

What do you mean by unique numbering?

Do you mean the 122091-1, 2, 3 codes?

I've just looked at 27 Series 8 leaflets, all have 122091-1 or 122091-2,
and I have not seen any other numbers after the dash. The exact same number is
on other series leaflets too. For Series 10 I have a 122091-3. I don't think
these numbers were unique to individual sets within a series.

Ditto. Entire Team GB series 122091-1, Series 4: 122091-2, series 5 122091-1
I do not see a unique code on any leaflet at all

  Hi,
I could not find anything on the topic :/
Could anyone explain please why are leaflets (instructions) for each minifigure
of the series kept separately in the catalog when they seems to be all the same?

It seems especially weird, when I saw that someone bought leaflet for percival
graves for such high price:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?I=colhp-22#T=P
while it seems that this leaflet is just pretty the same as all the rest of the
leaflets from this series....

Thx in advance,
J.

It is due to the fact that each collectible minifigure is treated as a separate
set in the BrickLink catalog. Since each set entry in the BrickLink catalog automatically
has an instructions entry added to it on creation, each collectible minifigure
set gets an instructions entry added to it on creation. It would be wrong to
say that each one of these sets does not have instructions included with it,
since each collectible minifigure does indeed come with the leaflet. Therefore,
each collectible minifigure set gets the leaflet as its instructions.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks Randy, makes sense.

And I would a little bit modify my question then.
Anyone noticed that especially for HP collectables are there some differences
?
From what I found it seems all those HP leaflets are just the same.
But I might overlooked something, so I am curious whether anyone could confirm
they are just the same ?

Thx,
J.

The leaflet is the exact same for most of the collectible minifigure series.
Sorry that I can't speak specifically about the HP ones, but I would highly
doubt that there would be any difference in that series.

Cheers,
Randy

  Hi jerzeeg,

Each collectable minifigure leaflet has an unique number. On the backside of
the leaflet at one of the corners there is a small red or black circle with a
white dot inside containing the number of that particular collectable minifigure.

Note: The unique numbering of the minifigs in the catalog is not the same
as the unique leaflet numbering.

Example: catalog set number col12-2 (Hun-Warrior) has number 8 on leaflet.

Hi Yutani,

thank you for the answer! Anyway it seems it does not apply everytime. In example
for HP there is unluckily nothing like that :/
Leaflets from different bags have all the same number in both the top-right corner
(as on screenshot) or the bottom left corner.
Please see the screenshots:

There is also a variation that has a 32064 opening on 1 side and a 32064b on
the other.

Clearly distinguished by the bottom of the brick

[p=32064b]
Is this only a "b" variant if it has the 'thin' corner guides seen from
both faces?

 
Part No: 32064  Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole
* 
32064 Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole
Parts: Technic, Brick
Is this any of these that is not a "b" or "c" based on the above?

OR

Is the distinguishing factor the complete circle support on the inside?
