A couple of small differences here. The internal mouldings inside the boot are larger on the right hand model and the boot lid hinges are shorter. (Both of these are enlarged arch, thin wheel versions, but hollow wheels on the left and solid on the right).

Very interesting JB i will have to go and check mine.

Usually the 'Solid' wheels come before the 'Hollow' wheels, unless the overall castings of this model can be verified as being produced close together on production, then you can get the reverse situation with the wheels as wheels get mixed together in the hoppers.

The castings joining the boot floor to the back-wall (where the second arrow is), are not symmetrical anyway within the model itself so compairing two boots like you have will always show different sizes to those parts, but if a second set of tools has been used to produce this model (very likely), you may well see differences around the components.

The actual Hinges or Hinge-arms I can not comment on as I don't see clearly any difference you describe, sorry Johnboy.

Someone with several examples of this model will come forward with their findings, hopefully!

"What's up Doc?"

When enlarged on screen these differences are obvious but in the hand 1:1 they represent less than 1mm so are actually very difficult to notice with the eyes............

Sorry Guys, I think I can see what "Johnboy" was meaning now, but did not notice this earlier and what he meant was the measurement across the Hinge-Arm as opposed to the length of the Arm. Sorry Johnboy, I was not concentrating, I thought I saw a strange person wondering around outside my window earlier, trying to see what was on my computer...

Sorry for the delay again Ghosty, I've just got home If you look at the hinges, they are slightly different in height, depth and width (if that makes sense).
