Please separate part 99206 and. 4304.

 
Part No: 99206  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 with 2 Studs on Side
* 
99206 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 with 2 Studs on Side
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 4304  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 with 2 Studs on Side - Hollow Bottom Tube
* 
4304 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 with 2 Studs on Side - Hollow Bottom Tube
Parts: Plate, Modified

Earlier this year, part 4304 was introduced. In our catalog it is seen aa an
altenative for 99206.

I think that New Elementary does a good job at describing why it is intentionally
functionally different.

Looking at the images in the article, the bottom side is different so the parts
can be distinguished easily.

Because the part was recently introduced, it should be easy to correct the set
inventories, and hopefully there will not be many problems with store inventories
for recently parted out sets.

That is very thorough. It seems as if it is such a minor mould change that would
make no change in functionality but that investigation really shows how such
a small change can make a big difference.

Would using 1 of each alleviate the new problem with the new mold?
