Comments from Submitter:
Base set includes 13x 3023 light bluish grey, 2x 32000 tan, and 2x 3747b light bluish grey. It seems like various changes over the years have messed with these and I don't think they should be alternates since they're all in the typical base set and required to build the set. Source is the original instructions and I can supply images of the parts list page if needed.

Please see the alternate section of the inventory and the note attached to the
inventory

“Redesigned during production.
There are at least 2 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 modules that attach to each side of the cockpit,
four light bluish gray 3023 Plate 1 x 2 and two tan 32000 1 x 2 Technic, Brick
1 x 2 with Holes are added to fill in gaps in the structure.”
