Well, I was thinking more along the lines of having 2 alternate suppliers
and buying from whoever had the best price/availability at the time. A
common practice both then and now, I believe, although usually the parts are
fully interchangeable (like the wiring harnesses).
FWIW, Bill Piggott gives the change point between ribbed/smooth as being at
body number EB72384.
