Yeah some of those extras look a bit weird. Maybe I will have a closer look at
them later.

I have a few more questions:
- Was there a batch code on your box (i.e. on one of the seals)?
- Which 4085* clips came in your set (black & white)?
- Which window frame 2493* came in your set?
- 2412b (black, light gray and yellow) and 4285a (blue) are correct?

Thanks for your help with this set. I wish I had it myself, it's such a great
set.

I have a few more questions:

No but a US catalog from 1992 was included in the box. I already disposed of
the box.

  - Which 4085* clips came in your set (black & white)?

White ones are correct.
I am afraid I did not and cannot check the black ones.

you also build the set and used only one 1x6 red plate?

Okay. Then your set is probably from mid/late 1992 as it already had the 1x1
round plates without sprues.

  
  - Which window frame 2493* came in your set?

 
Part No: 2493a  Name: Window 1 x 4 x 5 with Solid Studs

2493a Window 1 x 4 x 5 with Solid Studs

I think I will remove 2493 from the inventory. I have no idea about the timeline
for 2493a but it seems possible the set always came with that variant.
(In fact I didn't even know we have separate entries 2493/2493a until I discovered
them today in this inventory.
Maybe I have to check a set from my collection again for this variant.)

Nine at least. So now I'm even more confused about the quantity of this part.

My bad. I didn't check the inventory before answering your question. I noted
there were one less than what inventory says. The quantity in the inventory is
10 so I got 9. I checked again my inventory and have 9 of them. Since I have
a list of sets I parted-out, I checked them and never got any before and also
checked I did not sell any to anybody. So the correct quantity is 9.

  
  When I checked

  and
 
Part No: 3666  Name: Plate 1 x 6

3666 Plate 1 x 6

are included in your set?

An extra 1x6 red plate is very strange. I doubled check. I have 12 in my inventory
but got 10 from previous parted-out sets. So this is another confirmation I got
2 of them with my 6542.

Not a common extra part. Was the second on needed for one of the alternate models
shown on the back of the box? That is often the explanation for the inclusion
of unusual "extra" parts.

The inventory at Peeron mentions the extra 1x6 plate as well, so it was definitely
included in many (maybe all) copies of the set.
I also thought it could have been included to build an alternate model but this
is hard to verify without having the box in hand. And there are lots of red plates
in the set so I wonder if that 1x6 plate was really necessary for an alternate
model.
