Here are images of sealed bags from two sets showing
 
Part No: 89651  Name: Technic, Axle and Pin Connector 2 x 7 with 2 Ball Joint Sockets, Squared Ends, Open Side Axle Holes
* 
89651 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector 2 x 7 with 2 Ball Joint Sockets, Squared Ends, Open Side Axle Holes
Parts: Technic, Connector {Dark Bluish Gray}

And here is another sealed set being built:

I can't find any evidence that the older variant 61054 was ever in this set
no matter how many videos or images I look at from sealed sets. Even in all the
used sets that I looked at that had original boxes or unused sticker sheets,
I didn't see any of the older variant 61054. In some used sets, I saw the
older variant, but none of these ever contained an original box or instructions.
Therefore, those sets could have been pieced together from bulk parts, and I
don't count them as great evidence. 89651 would have been a very new piece
when these sets were released, so the original submitter of the inventory probably
didn't catch it. In fact, 89651 wasn't added to the catalog until Aug
1, 2012, two years after the release of this set.

I have accepted your change request and removed the older variant from the inventory.
If any evidence ever surfaces that the older variant came in the set at some
point, it can be added back.

Cheers,
Randy
