The same design number on different parts?

Lego does not (always) track mold variants. Currently they still deliver b-type heads. Even thourgh at least for me this was very rare in 2013. As far as a I know there doesn't seem the be a system for this (or at least it isn't public - coule be possible they also have an interal number). My observation(!) was light flash variants tend to be c-types, while yellow counterparts have a higher b-type percentage. At least for me, but this may be luck. I could also confirm b/c-types are mixed in one set - even for the same print and design id. (Seen on 9471: Uruk-Hai Army)

Bricklink does track mold variants but for the heads they are not a very accurate source (they tend to use b-type even on newer sets). They don't seem to have an alternative system for the minfig (or they don't use it)
