Extra items might not be found in every set. That is why sellers can opt to not
include them during partout. And we don't remove extras from an inventory
unless it can be demonstrated that they were added in error.

This is a strange situation, though. It looks to me as though TLG had run short
of the Dark Bluish Gray T liftarms in the middle of a run, and didn't know
which copies had them and which didn't. So they added a full set of parts
(8) in Light Bluish Gray, and as many of the remaining others as would divide
evenly between the copies in question (5), so that the set could be built as
close to the original as possible.

In the case of this submitter (ichiban), apparently his copy already had the
original 8 which were supposed to come in the set, plus the bandaid parts added
to fix the problem.
