Or the elimination of some parts was required to reduce inventory over the following years,

With that said, I worked for a company that used standard parts which were required to fit old, new and future machines with no mods. How ever if someone of some influence in the company said we want a new part her, sometimes for no real reason at all they got it, lesser mortals were then left to sort out what other new parts were required to get the necessary interchangeability, sometimes it was not pretty.
