I wonder why Matchbox changed the design of base plates when it did not seem to make any difference to assembling the model :?:

It would be interesting to see what changes were made to the inner surface of the baseplate (where's Antonin?). My guess would be that it's a strengthening issue, with a significant number of the original-style baseplate suffering deformation during riveting.
