John,
OK. I deleted the post where the upload didn't "take".
A part number with just 10- instead of 10D- merely means that the part was created for the early 10. If the part was carried over to the 10D, the part number did not change. So although you shouldn't find any 10D- part numbers on a 9" or early 10", there are a lot of 10- parts on a 10D. There are even some on my 3996. If the part was modified but perhaps with other parts also changed is retrofittable to an earlier model, its part number would become for example 10-xxxA . 9-101-20 for example was used on the 9" up through 10D and 101.07401. 9-101-20A was used on the 10F and 101.07362 up through the 3996. And if you change enough other parts, you could use it on a 9".

Robert thanks again but this is now confusing me even more, I made the mistake in my initial identification of my 12" 7380 because of those 10 numbers. In an earlier post on this thread you stated that it is possible that the 10-247 and the 10D-247 start life as the same casting and the difference is in the machining. I am going to bed my brain has had its fill with the picture problem for this day.

Yep. And that is still possible. But it's also possible that the first few production 101.07380's were shipped with 10-246 and 10-247. And it's also possible that it was a foundry error. The Atlas parts sheet and the Sears Parts Direct listing on the 101.07380 and 101.07381 show the "D" variant.
