Mold numbers are often just mold numbers. Mold numbers may change as molds are changed, or they may keep the same mold number for a new mold, even if it's for a different mold making a revised part.

Even revision numbers (on parts lists) may not mean a particular part has had a design change. I've been told that sometimes a revision number added to the end of a part number might only mean a new vendor is being used for the part (same specs for the part), or, there may have been a change in material, or color of plastic used (but other specs remain unchanged).
