Today I received my bought set
 
Set No: 523  Name: Locomotive and Station
* 
523-1 (Inv) Locomotive and Station
46 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1977
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

Inside the box
 
Original Box No: 523  Name: Locomotive and Station
  
523-1 Locomotive and Station
Original Boxes: DUPLO: Basic Set
There is two identical boxes with parts inside (look that funny rabbit)

Should I add these boxes as alternate picture of original box 523-1 or add as
a gear inside inventory of set 523-1 ?

-Fred

PS: maybe that box exist in catalog, but I do not find them.

What do these numbers refer to?
Apologies if this has been asked before - I cannot find a thread.
Thanking you all

The one or two digit numbers indicate molds and mold cavities in the actual machine
that creates the parts from liquid plastic injection. As far as what year TLC
started putting part numbers on the parts themselves, I'm afraid I do not
know.

Part number such as 3001 for a 2x4 brick ? Certainly the older CA parts had that,
so it must have been in the earliest days.

The CA parts did have mold numbers (5 04) but not the part number (3176)

If I remember correctly, around 1985.
