399 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1993

Comments from Submitter:
From set obtained MISB, never mixed with remaining collection, and just disassembled for the first time after almost 30 years hanging from the rafters. Extra parts were kept hidden in the back chamber (no doubt about origin). Sprues also found point to part 4073c01, in both round plates.

I very much doubt that. Sets released in 1993 did not come with 4073c01 anymore
and then you would not have the extra 1x1 round plates.

You make a good point. After further (persistent) inquiry, I was told the set
was at some point taken from its place, and played with by someone else without
my knowledge.
That would explain 2 black sprues and no T-N-O sprue, a discrepancy which ought
to have made bells ring in my head.
In light of that, please disregard my earlier inventory change request. Even
though I trust the set really had those 3 extra parts, as they were outside of
easy reach, my confidence in my copy being unadulterated is no longer the same
