Description of parts - Manfred Schaefer - 2025-10-15
Hello,
Part 73200bpaw corresponds to Bricklink part 970c86pb06.
In the LDraw part, the hip has a solid color of ‘Dark Red’ (320).
This part is also available with a gray hip (Light Bluish Gray, 71).
I assume that a new version would have to be created for this variant, for example 73200pax, even though the lower parts end with paw.
An extension such as c01 and c02 is not possible:
73200bpawc01 with hips in Dark Red,
73200bpawc02 with hips in Light Bluish Grey.
There is a similar problem with the minifig torsos (76382), where there are different hands or arms, for example.
Best regards,
Manfred

Bricklink partnumber? Set number?

This is not a problem.
Check out how one torso 973p8a is used in 4 different assemblies.

73200 and 76382 are already assemblies. There should never be a cXX of these files unless they appear as part of some larger assembly that include (which is unlikely).
Different arms, hand, or hips colors should just get a new unique pattern code.
