Just wanted some help to confirm my identification. I've been looking at
these parts for a few minutes and was going a little crazy.

 
Part No: 3650a  Name: Technic, Gear 24 Tooth Crown - Not Reinforced
* 
3650a Technic, Gear 24 Tooth Crown - Not Reinforced
Parts: Technic, Gear {Light Gray}

According to the catalogue, was only ever made in Light Gray. But i seem to
have 4 in LBG. Obviously they stopped making this part well before the changeover
of colours, so are these just parts in an odd Light Grey?

Top one is Light Grey, then there is one of each colour in the 4185 wheel as
a control group. So the 4 at the bottom are?

Thanks
Douglas

They're all Light Grey, but the 2 discoloured ones are sun-damaged

Which ones are sun-damaged? I don't pretend to be an expert, hence why i
am asking here. I can usually pick sun damage though as it is often uneven.

All parts are uniform in colour, the Light Grey parts in the photo are from the
early 1980's. Not sure.

Top and right on second row.

Most would call them faded as would I.

top is yellowed LG.
your reference color should be chosen wisely, ie. avoid yellowed bricks.
