| Here are my thoughts on and .
It's very hard to see the actual color of the bottom of the black part in
the current picture, but it doesn't look opaque to me. More like semi-transparent,
possibly Milky White. Not a single one of the 104 sellers have uploaded a photo
of the part to actually show that it's opaque.
All the ones with opaque bottom that I have seen have red bottoms, and they are
all early CA bricks with old logo. All transparent bottoms that I have seen are
ABS bricks with new logo.
So I do not believe there exists a black version with opaque bottom. Just more
or less transparent ones. See examples from my collection in attached image.
I therefore suggest that either
1) the black photo is removed and the part is renamed to "Brick, Modified
2 x 4 with Wheels Holder, Red Bottom"
2) a new part created with the name "Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Wheels Holder,
Red Bottom" and the current part marked for deletion.
Please advise.

The dictionary definition of "opaque" literally means "not transparent
or translucent", so the word opaque is the wrong terminology to be using
in describing these parts.
That much is a fact.

| I think opaque is being used to distinguish it from the similar part with a transparent
bottom.

I personally agree that the black one doesn't belong here.
Does yours show Pat Pend or PAT PEND or neither?
Thanks,

The two semi-transparent ones in the photo have pat. pend. erased. I have checked
a handful of fully transparent ones. Mixed pat. pend. and pat. pend erased.
