I already noticed for years that in a lot of vintage sets these hooks appear
randomly. So it does in this set (checked 3 boxed sets with all original parts).

Both
[s=3127,5]and
[s=3127b,5] exist in Pat Pend as well as Pat Pend Obscured

Based on 2 boxed sets, instructions and complete builds, I can say that the inventory
on Bricklink is correct.

This set consists of the following 5 sets:
 
Set No: 604  Name: Excavator
* 
604-2 (Inv) Excavator
26 Parts, 1971
Sets: LEGOLAND: Construction
 
Set No: 606  Name: Tipper Lorry
* 
606-2 (Inv) Tipper Lorry
18 Parts, 1972
Sets: LEGOLAND: Construction
 
Set No: 642  Name: Double Excavator
* 
642-2 (Inv) Double Excavator
33 Parts, 1971
Sets: LEGOLAND: Construction
 
Set No: 643  Name: Mobile Crane
* 
643-2 (Inv) Mobile Crane
27 Parts, 1971
Sets: LEGOLAND: Construction
 
Set No: 681  Name: Low-Loader with 4 Wheel Excavator
* 
681-1 (Inv) Low-Loader with 4 Wheel Excavator
45 Parts, 1971
Sets: LEGOLAND: Construction

BUT, with the following differences:
- sets 606, 643 and 681 have regular 1x4 bricks instead of Legoland Bricks
- set 643 has a slightly different build, starting with a 4x6 plate instead of
4x8 plate
- Samsonite Specific Parts

Samsonite Specific Parts:

 
Part No: 3003px5  Name: Brick 2 x 2 with Lego Logo Open O Style Black Pattern (Samsonite)
* 
3003px5 Brick 2 x 2 with Lego Logo Open O Style Black Pattern (Samsonite)
Parts: Brick, Decorated {Yellow}
 
Part No: 3003pb009  Name: Brick 2 x 2 with Lego Logo Open O Style White without Black Outline Pattern (Samsonite)
* 
3003pb009 Brick 2 x 2 with Lego Logo Open O Style White without Black Outline Pattern (Samsonite)
Parts: Brick, Decorated {Blue}
 
Part No: 3035old  Name: Plate 4 x 8 with Waffle Bottom
* 
3035old Plate 4 x 8 with Waffle Bottom
Parts: Plate {Red}
 
Part No: 3035old  Name: Plate 4 x 8 with Waffle Bottom
* 
3035old Plate 4 x 8 with Waffle Bottom
Parts: Plate {Black}

These waffle plates were discontinued around 1965/1966 and only made by Samsonite
after that. As far as I know, the black and light gray ones are Samonite-only.

About the same time the 1x2 plates were changed, but Samsonite still used:

 
Part No: 3023old  Name: Plate 1 x 2 with Flat Bottom Pin
* 
3023old Plate 1 x 2 with Flat Bottom Pin
Parts: Plate {Red}

The car grille bricks are also Samsonite specific. They all have embossed print,
they look to be hand painted with lots of differences between them.

 
Part No: 3010pb036e  Name: Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Embossed Print)
* 
3010pb036e Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Embossed Print)
Parts: Brick, Decorated {Blue}
only used by Samsonite
 
Part No: 3010pb035e  Name: Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Chrome Pattern (Embossed Print)
* 
3010pb035e Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Chrome Pattern (Embossed Print)
Parts: Brick, Decorated {Red}

 
Part No: 7049b  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Wheels Holder, Trans-Clear Bottom
* 
7049b Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Wheels Holder, Trans-Clear Bottom
Parts: Brick, Modified {Black}
has milky white and black bushes and
has PAT PEND in large capital lettering

 
Part No: 3032  Name: Plate 4 x 6
* 
3032 Plate 4 x 6
Parts: Plate {Red}
has PAT PEND in large capital lettering

Some bricks and small plates still have that small Samsonite logo on the Studs,
like:

 
Part No: 3062a  Name: Brick, Round  1 x 1 - Solid Stud, Bottom Lip
* 
3062a Brick, Round 1 x 1 - Solid Stud, Bottom Lip
Parts: Brick, Round {Black}
 
Part No: 3003old  Name: Brick 2 x 2 without Inside Supports
* 
3003old Brick 2 x 2 without Inside Supports
Parts: Brick {Red}
 
Part No: 3002old  Name: Brick 2 x 3 without Cross Supports
* 
3002old Brick 2 x 3 without Cross Supports
Parts: Brick {Yellow}
 
Part No: 3020  Name: Plate 2 x 4
* 
3020 Plate 2 x 4

Part No: 3021  Name: Plate 2 x 3

Some images will follow.

Additional note:

The box shows 195 pieces.

There are 15 small wheel assemblies.
Bricklink count 1, inventory of part 4, difference of 15 x 3 = 45 pieces

The Reel winch has 3 pieces, difference of 2 pieces

Bricklink Qty 148 + 45 + 2 = 195 pieces

Some of the Samsonite parts.
I did my best, but the images are not all very clear.

My boxed set has bricks and plates mixed with normal Logo and Samsonite Logo
on studs.
There are also color differences and material differences. Could be the color
difference is caused by the material.

The image with the 3 red plates are showing 3 different logo's on the studs,
all specific Samsonite parts though. On the left the 4x8 Waffle plate, on the
right on top the 2x3 plate and below that the 4x6 plate.

The Wheels Holder has a Milky White Bush in the middle, Black Bushes on the sides
and this big capital PAT PEND, like the 4x6 plate.

I also added a comparison image for the car grille bricks and an image from Chris
to show that these Samsonite Car Grille Bricks show differences....

.... and an image of blue Samsonite plates, send to me back in 2009 by Gary Istok.
I added this image to show the fragile material, they didn't survive the
trip.

I like these Samsonite Parts and just wanted to share and show that set 349 is
very different in parts then the sets I mentioned earlier.
