I realized that the hinge plate is missing in inventories in LdCad due to the id being 1927. Should we have an alias for this?
Or is there enough difference to have a different model?

Only difference is that the joint looks like a pin?

Interesting though if this pin can take a 4 LDU diameter part, e.g. feathers or so. as there would be an additional connection.

I checked on the Piranha plant since it's newish. And it has the new one. I first read the numbers wrong. Will check again my old ones

Not able to fit bars in the new one. It's slightly bigger but not enough.

So imho just an alias.

can the different types be mixed or are they incompatible? any physical differences?

But why does our version of the old part look like the new?  The clip is not right.
And maybe worse. It's using a scaled connect2.dat

That yellow one is odd. The logos have different orientation.

Maybe I found one that is even older? No part number on it

Yes, something is off as there's a collision between the pin and the receptacle. Then again, the receptacle is too thick for the new version—it should be thin enough to allow a concave inside surface of the 1x2 plate, rather than interrupting it.
