I just saw this on FB. Look at step 1. The turntable outer can be either yellow
or grey.

For the record, The Yellow one is printed in Germany by Frank Druck. Preetz/Holst.
And the Grey version in Printed in Germany by H. O. Persiehl, Hamburg. So it
is two different printers also.
Text is noted on the back of the manuals

But were light gray turntables ever found in that set? A color error in the
instructions doesn't mean that the set's inventory gets an alternate
added. However, finding a set that actually came with a light gray turntable
instead of a yellow one does.

There is a v1 & v2. On rebrickable.
Just not for the instruction manual
So i think the discussion for two versions is already done?
Dont know how this is done here on bricklink

On BrickLink, inventories are based on what actually came in sets. So, if only
one color of turntable ever came in the actual sets, the inventory will only
show one color of turntable, no matter what the instruction manuals show. In
other words, instruction manuals do not guide the inventories, the parts in the
sets do.
If we were to ever add an alternate part, we would need much more reliable proof
than two different instruction manuals from different printers. The fact that
the instruction manuals were printed at two different printers could mean that
one of them just simply messed up.
Cheers,
Randy

| Should a note be added to both the set and instructions that there are two versions
of these instructions but the inventory stays as is ?

That sounds like the most sensible solution to me.

So there is no second version but one incorrectly printed version. There are
other instructions with mistakes. I am not sure if Bricklink wants to add a note
that on earlier instructions a turntable was incorrectly printed light gray.

| Might be a problem if this is widespread but it might stop questions in the future,
just a thought.

IIRC, it’s not the first time, nor the third, this was discussed for this set.
The other sets? Nope, or they didn’t make an impression 
So I’d say put a note when there’s a discussion and only then.
People don’t read notes anyway

I believe this set always came with yellow turntable and the instructions was
printed incorrectly a light gray but was later corrected. Mistakes on old instructions
was common indeed. I had discovered few mistakes in the instructions of my 857.
For example, two blue 2x10 plates on step 18 became light gray on step 19 (this
set only came with blue 2x10 plates anyway) See photos attached.
It is admittedly strange that the Lego designer of this set wanted a light gray
piece between a blue plate and a yellow chair. That would look odd and ugly.
One extra piece of evidence is that (probably) a yellow turntable was used on
an alternate build on the back of the box. The box does not have two versions.
This was discussed before. See photos attached in this discussion:
