I'm building set 7706 from the instructions pdf from lego.com and the parts
I'm using are different than the inventory on bricklink. One example is a
white 1 x 4 tile. There are other differences but I'm not familiar with bricklink
magic. I hope one of you are.

This set was redesigned during production. The notes are at the very bottom of
the inventory page. They are...

Redesigned during production.

There are at least two different versions of instructions for this set. The differences
for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items
section with Match ID 99.

Quick overview of redesign: In the cockpit module various parts are added to
strengthen the build. In the track assembly two black 3708 Technic, Axle 12 are
replaced by four black 6558 Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise,
enabling the tracks on each side to move independently from each other.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are numerical errors in the parts lists in the instructions for both versions
of this set. The early version of the instructions incorrectly lists only one
pair of minifigure legs, but two are included. It also lists 13 dark bluish gray
32291 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double, but only 12 were
included. The later version of the instructions incorrectly lists one black 6558
Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise, but 18 are included.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dark bluish gray 32523 Technic, Liftarm 1 x 3 Thick in the later version
of the set has also been found in dark gray. The black 6538b Technic, Axle Connector
2L (Ridged with x Hole x Orientation) have also been found in the set as 6538c
Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Smooth with x Hole + Orientation).

If you will look at the bottom of the Bricklink inventory, there is an explanation
for this.

Note:

Set No: 7706  Name: Mobile Defense Tank
* 
7706-1 (Inv) Mobile Defense Tank
345 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2006
Sets: Exo-Force

That set was redesigned during production, so there are more than one set of
instructions for the set.

In the set inventory, the changes that are made between the two different versions
of the set are identified by Match ID 99. Therefore, one version of the set is
built with everything with Match ID 99 in the Regular Items section, and the
other version of the set is built with everything with Match ID 99 in the Alternate
Items section. You just need to figure out which version of the instructions
you are using and then use the correct parts for that version from the appropriate
section of the set inventory.

Cheers,
Randy

P.S. That is one of the worst sets I have ever built.
