Jonas asked me to check these parts too. Thank!
Again, my copy is a relative early version, either 1985 or 1986.
The box arts show

* 
193b1 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Space / Town with Thick Chin Strap - without Visor Dimples

so that should come as regular.

If you are going to confirm an inventory from "Sealed Set Contents" as a registered
Inventories Verifier, you better make sure to check the entire inventory.

My apologies for missing few variations out of checking the quantities, parts
and variations of over 850 parts.

You don't have to apologize, you don't owe anything to the BrickLink
catalog. Thank you for any work you are choosing to provide.

Sezar did not have to choose Sealed Set Contents as a source or even verify the
inventory. But people can lose their status as an inventories verifier if they
make too many mistakes:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=206

The status of an Inventories Verifier can be removed from a member by an Inventories
Administrator if excessive errors are found in several inventories after the
member confirmed their accuracy.


If you agree to be placed on the verifiers list and you sign an inventory at
a certain verification level, you DO owe the site the time and energy it takes
to properly verify that inventory at the level you have claimed.

It's all volunteer, but people get credit for confirming inventories, credit
which could lead to them being considered for admin privileges. There are also
other privileges that come with being an inventories verifier that do involve
reimbursement, and and in those cases the obligation to the site is even higher.

Thank you for the explanation, Sezar doesn’t have a badge on their profile card
(like inventory admins or discussion moderators) so their status and what it
entails wasn’t obvious to me.

Of course if there are reimbursement involved, then I do understand the duty
reminder.

We have actually been talking about using some more badges - this is the first
input from the community on that, so thank you.

Here's the current list, btw:

I did check
- the correction of parts,
- the quantity

However, when it comes to the variations of parts, it is always possible to not
know a variation. (I can give examples of other inventory verifiers who missed
variations). There are so many parts and multiple variations. Having worked on
variations, I still may forget or am not aware of a variation for a particular
part.
Also, few months/years I verify accuracy a set, a part may get split into variations.
So here are two questions:

- to what extend should an inventory varifier check variations of parts?
- The set I had had boxed opened but content new and complete (except few big
plates). Did I have to choose "used set" or "sealed set content"? There is no
option "box opened content new in sealed bags".

I feel like someone who has made one thousand six hundred correction to inventories
is worth keeping in your toolkit even if they occasionally need Jonas' help
to get the job done.

Absolutely. In fact, I can't think of a person who was ever removed from
that list for inaccuracy. Maybe one.

The word "excessive" is key, and with Randy's warning, we trust that future
errors will not rise to the level of "excessive" in this case.

I think we don't have a general guideline how to handle these trays. If it
is made out of thin plastic I would say it should just be part of the box (i.e.
it should not be added to the set inventory). However, this does not mean it
cannot be added to the catalog so you are welcome to submit it.

Oh, so this 203594200235 does not appear on Ebay.de . Do a search on Ebay.co.uk

I just checked and you are right. they are all listed for this set.
What I don't understand is why some considered instructions and some considered
books.

I think I had seen other Dacta sets missing some of paper works. I will find
them soon or late again.
