I have tried to determin the mould number and it is a letter 'L' or a number '7', depending on the Tan moulding being a letter 'F' or the number '4'.

Thank you Lesney, if it were a 'Pre-Pro' component, it is more likely to have a letter earlier than the 'F' on the Tan moulding, so I am wondering if it is simply a colour trial moulding but rejected as not being a very interesting alternative to the Tan one...!

I don't know if it's my eyes but the plastic looks thinner on the white one
also the corners are sharper

I am concerned that new 3D printers may be capable of churning out moulded plastic parts in any colour combination.

out of the two Fiat colors, did the red one come before or after the sea-green?

Red came only in a boxed set.

Yes, that is a very valid concern. They should have no problem duplicating these and other parts. I expect one of the replacement parts people will get one soon enough and begin to churn out all sorts of stuff with it.

Now that I see Ghosty's enlarged pic, I've changed my mind again and I'm convinced it's a fake. The ejector rings are just too vague in detail to be real. The real part has crisp sharp ejector rings.

Thanks.
was thinking if the luggage was a pre-pro, why is it white? And we would've heard of this way sooner.
