The top plates for red hinges in this set were changed at some point during set
production. Two versions of set instructions exist. I've added a note to
the set's inventory, but I'm wondering if the inventory incorrectly shows
the chronological order for the hinges.
Common sense says that the 1 x 2 top plate came first and they replaced it with
a 2 x 2 top plate for added stability, but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm
which version of the set came first before making that change.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
It seems likely that the 1x2 plate came in earlier production runs of this set.
According to the catalog this is the only set from 1991 with a 2x2 top plate.
The next oldest sets with 2x2 top plates are from 1994.

Thank you for commenting. After reading your comment I changed the order in
which these appear in the inventory and updated the inventory note.
