Is there a mold variant for the underside of part 32083? I found some photos
of the part with different 3.18 mm bars on the underside than the parts which
I have on hand. For the parts I have on hand (2 Red and 1 Orange), the 2nd and
4th of the bars on each row have supports that continue down to the end of the
bar, making hollow stud connections to these points impossible. However, I found
two photos online of the part in Bright Light Orange which seem as though the
supports do not continue down along the bars as much, which would make hollow
stud connection possible. This would create a functional difference in the part
if this variant does exist.

I have added your images and an additional note to the catalog entry:
 
Part No: 32083  Name: Slope 45 6 x 4 Double
* 
32083 Slope 45 6 x 4 Double
Parts: Slope

If an official build in a set is found that absolutely requires the newer variant,
then we would split the entry. Until that time, we will keep it as an unsplit
variant.

Cheers,
Randy

Great, thank you. Would you like a new photo without the blue circle? I actually
came across this variation while designing a MOC digitally only to find out that
the build wouldn't work with the longer support variant.

Nope. I think the blue circle is great because it clearly identifies the area
of the part being discussed.
