Hi,
I recently purchased a used 7662 MTT set. Instead of the 4460a reddish-brown
slopes listed in the BrickLink inventory, it came 4460b slope. I also noticed
the set listed 4460b slopes in DBG as a counterpart. I know it is a longshot,
but could someone who purchased this set brand new check if their set's 4460
slope has hollow studs or open studs. Thank You!

Member Teos verified that inventory from a closed set, so I would trust it as
100% accurate.

That open stud could be important for construction or not (I haven’t checked),
but it’s a cheap part so if it truly matters to you, you can always buy it and
swap it out.

But that verification was done in '08. The part in question was not split
into two different catalogue entries until '11. So the verification could
not be expected to encompass this part variant.

Based on the year of release it is possible that 4460b was included in later
production runs of this set.
