Hi,
LEGO support told me, that they dont know e. g. the part 374

 
Part No: 374  Name: Baseplate 16 x 32 with Rounded Corners
* 
374 Baseplate 16 x 32 with Rounded Corners
Parts: Baseplate {Green}

So question is, how do I find out the correct element ID? Often in those instruction
books on the last page there the numbers. But old booklets dont have them.

On BrickLink, you go to the part’s page, then click on the “Color Images” button
next to the picture.
There, there’s a list of PCCs / Element IDs… if they are known.

This part don’t have any.
Its more modern replacement, 3857, have them: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?itemType=P&itemNo=3857&v=2

I'm not sure I would expect Lego support to know anything about a part last
made almost 50 years ago.

If they aren't recorded and LEGO never released them then why do you need
them?

How do I know what they have released? It also was just an example. Thanks
for helping!
