Hi all,

(Not a request because don’t have the parts or set.)

In set
 
Set No: 4956  Name: House
* 
4956-1 (Inv) House
731 Parts, 2007
Sets: Creator: Model: Building
the window frames and window pane in the Regular section are
 
Part No: 60594  Name: Window 1 x 4 x 3 - No Shutter Tabs
* 
60594 Window 1 x 4 x 3 - No Shutter Tabs
Parts: Window
 
Part No: 3854  Name: Pane for Window 1 x 2 x 3
* 
3854 Pane for Window 1 x 2 x 3
Parts: Window, Glass & Shutter
while the Alternate section has:
 
Part No: 6556  Name: Window 1 x 4 x 3 Train - 2 Hollow Studs and 2 Solid Studs
* 
6556 Window 1 x 4 x 3 Train - 2 Hollow Studs and 2 Solid Studs
Parts: Window
 
Part No: 60608  Name: Pane for Window 1 x 2 x 3 with Thick Corner Tabs
* 
60608 Pane for Window 1 x 2 x 3 with Thick Corner Tabs
Parts: Window, Glass & Shutter
(with different MIDs).

I believe it would be more logical to have 6556 in Regular and 60594 in Alternate
(and with the same MID as 60608).

I also suspect 60608 doesn’t fit in 6556.  I don’t have 6556 to test but if the
holes are the same as on 3853, then the fit is too tight.

I just checked: 60608 can be squeezed into 6556, it's a bit tight, but I
managed without damaging the parts. What seems weirder to me is that in 6556
there's nothing to hold the panes in place closed - 60584 and 3853 have this
ridge that stops the panes from going in the wrong direction, that is missing
in 6556. Seems strange that this combination of parts would have been used.

Yes, it’s more probable that the matching parts were used together.  In any case,
even if weird mismatches may have happened, it’s doubtful the set started with
a mismatch; it must have started with the older pair first.

So, logically, 6556+3853 should be in Regular, and 60608+60584 in Alternate. 
With same MIDs if we are sure mismatches couldn’t happen, different MIDs if we
think some sets could have come with mismatches.

But logic is my only proof 🤷‍♂️
