One notable difference between the ladders of the 9c and the nozzle on the 63c: The nozzle is riveted in place and the ladder is a snap fit. The ladder can be moved from model to model and falsely create new variations.

Hi Dick, sorry, I have overlooked your contribution. Your variation is more strange than mine. It seems that every base plate variations with the gold nozzle should receive a brother with the silver nozzle.
It seems, that Nick should after one day again update the 63b list. Poor guy when there are so many bedbugs here.

When I am was browsing through the Harveys-Matchbox shop (sadly watching 23c with glazing), I came across a second 63b Foamite with BPW ΓΈ12,5x30.

The center wheel looks a little funny on the white springed knobby wheel Crash Tender of Hardy's. I really like yours a lot better Antonin.
The glazed Caravan you also mention Antonin is Item #331110494259, and it features a photo with the base off. The window unit holes seem larger than the unspun roof rivets on the body, and the rare window unit now seems to be held in by 4 spots of clear glue towards it's corners. Maybe it is just my old eyes.

By checking my models I have found one very strange variation, silver nozzle on the model with base plate with eight triangular braces, no leaf springs, hole in base. That means that the silver nozzle could be theoretically found on the models with base plate with eight triangular braces, white leaf springs, hole in base.

The variation with
the silver nozzle, base plate with eight triangular braces, white leaf springs - was yesterday on eBay item number:390758265639
