Hi all,

I am sorting a bulk used lot now and I am confused about one part reference.

The one I have (enclosed photo, sorry for the bad quality...) probably comes
from the set 4708 Hogwarts Express since I also have a lot of its parts with
stickers...

 
Set No: 4708 Name: Hogwarts Express {1st edition}
* 		4708-1 (Inv) Hogwarts Express {1st edition}
400 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2001
Sets: Harry Potter: Sorcerer's Stone: Train: 9V

so I guess mine is :

 
Part No: 40253 Name: Door, Frame 2 x 8 x 6 Swivel without Bottom Notches
* 		40253 Door, Frame 2 x 8 x 6 Swivel without Bottom Notches
Parts: Door, Frame {Dark Gray}

and that's what is written on the underside, and so not :

 
Part No: 30101 Name: Door, Frame 2 x 8 x 6 Swivel with Bottom Notches
* 		30101 Door, Frame 2 x 8 x 6 Swivel with Bottom Notches
Parts: Door, Frame {Dark Gray}

Where I am confused is by the name "WITHOUT Bottom Notches" and since there is
no photo of the back (bottom ? ) I'm a little at loss and come seek your
help...

I've checked rebrickable and on it is the opposite problem, there is a photo
of 40253 that is like mine, but not of the back of 30101

Long story short I'm pretty sure I have the 40253 but I'd like someone
to confirm, and it would be nice, if that's the case, to change the names
to something like "without back support / notches not reinforced" and "with
back support / notches reinforced" and add a photo to clear the difference (I
could try to take and edit a better one when I get back home later if anyone
is interested...)

Another possibility is that I could be totally mistaken about what are really
those "Bottom Notches"...

Thanks a lot and a nice day, David

This one has a completely flat bottom.

* 		30101 Door, Frame 2 x 8 x 6 Swivel with Bottom Notches

This one has a stepped bottom that has two big notches cut out of the bottom.

This one has a completely flat bottom.

IOW: the pillars on the sides go all the way down.

This one has a stepped bottom that has two big notches cut out of the bottom.

IOW: the pillars on the sides stop 1 brick short of the ground.

If David did like me, he tried to see differences in the threshold, looking for
‘notches’ and totally missed the big brick-sized holes on the sides
