Dear Charlie
It's almost unlikely to have some variation in the collection that is not in your great collection. I think you have not mentioned the variation (the same variation as on the early box):
-with roof lights on each end of the head board
-Matchbox without quotation marks.
-silver trim to grill & headlights
-black plastic tires with silver metal hubs
-short crane cable; the crane hook with the hole all the way through
