* 
6338-1 (Inv) Hurricane Harbor
350 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1995
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Coast Guard

* Add 5 Part 2536a Brown Plant, Tree Palm Trunk - Long Indented Connector (Alternate) (match ID 5)
* Change 5 Part Brown 2536b Plant, Tree Palm Trunk - Short Connector, no Axle Hole {match ID 0 to 5}

Comments from Submitter:
Set unboxing and building at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=432602&n=48

String: I checked the lenght in a set from my own collection. It was bought used, but in perfect condition (all parts shiny, with extra parts, unused sticker sheet, complete box,...) and the string matches what can be seen on the photos at brickshelf.

The appearance of 4085b in this inventory seems very strange and may be a mistake. All other sets from that time have 4085c, so I think we should delete all 4085b until we have proof that they came in a sealed copy. Any thoughts?

It is strange that it's the only set with 4085b so many years after its last
appearance and even more years before it was brought back. But it was specifically
added in earlier change requests long ago.

Unfortunately the attached messages from back then are no longer available. So
we don't know the source for those requests. Could possibly be used sets
that didn't have original part variants. Or soneone not familiar with the
variants may have thought the clip was thin when it was really thick. Or maybe
a few stray parts from old stock were left somewhere and made their way into
this set.

I think this is the most plausible reason.
