I'm looking at set 4706-1 (Harry Potter - Forbidden Corridor). In the inventory
are stair components, including Light Gray steps (16x 40243) and a Black support
(1x 40244)

In counterparts, this set uses 40243c01 (Stairs Spiral Steps 16 with Support),
but that assembly calls for matching support and stairs color. This assembly
is used in 4 sets, one with LBG steps and 3 with LG steps.

However two of these use a Black support and two of them use a Tan support.
I believe following the standard of Hips & Legs parts, there should be two distinct
assemblies - 40243c01 - Stairs Spiral Steps 16 with Black Support and 40243c02
- Stairs Spiral Steps 16 with Tan Support

Am I reading this correctly?
Thank you!

These counterpart entries are most likely going to go the way of the dodo bird.
It is on our list of things that need "cleaning up".
