A different article number can lead to the same assembly document. The two US GLADOM listings in this comparison provide a concrete example: dark gray-green article705.784.51 and black article504.119.90 link separate color-named PDF addresses, yet the retained documents have the same edition identifier and identical file contents. Follow those links as two evidence chains rather than deciding from the product name or the PDF filename alone.

Start with two product records, not one remembered name

The current US dark gray-green listing identifies article705.784.51. Its Assembly instructions entry names GLADOM Tray table with that article number. The black listing identifies article504.119.90 and has its own Assembly instructions entry. These are distinct whole-product records, even though both use the GLADOM name.

Keep each listing attached to its own document link. A search result containing a familiar color is not the same evidence as the actual product page linking the instructions. Here both links were followed in the retained source research. No physical table was assembled or inspected, and the records do not establish what edition originally accompanied an unknown table already in someone’s home.

Compare the address and the document separately

The green product’s official link resolves to a filename containing dark-gray-green; the black product’s link contains black. Both filenames also contain AA-2544925-1-100. Those different color words make the addresses different, but they do not by themselves establish different diagrams or instructions inside the files.

The retained eight-page documents show AA-2544925-1, including the identifier printed on the final page with a2024 copyright notice. The crosswalk below therefore preserves two product articles and two document addresses while recording one shared instruction edition. The copyright year is a visible document field, not a claim that either article was released that year.

There is a stronger check for these particular retained files: their complete file contents compare byte for byte identically. An independently recomputed SHA-256 checksum is also the same for both. That establishes sameness of the two saved responses, not merely similarity between their cover drawings. It does not promise that every future response from either address will remain unchanged.

Read the shared result without merging the products

The useful outcome is a many-to-one relationship: two identified product listings lead to the same retained instruction edition. Keep both article numbers in the purchase record instead of replacing them with the document number. If the chosen color is black, the order still concerns504.119.90; the shared manual has not changed it into the green article.

Likewise, do not infer a product-generation change simply because an instruction file was downloaded recently. This comparison has no earlier verified edition and no manufacturer statement that the construction changed. A new download date establishes when that copy was obtained, not when the furniture changed.

The shared instructions also contain smaller component identifiers. On the parts page,100006 accompanies the depicted tool, while123451 and122202 accompany different fasteners. Those labels do not replace either whole-product article number or AA-2544925-1. Their presence is not a stock list for separately purchasable replacement parts, and no interchangeability conclusion follows from the two products sharing this document.

Use the crosswalk for the selected purchase

Suppose a fictional buyer saves both colors while deciding which to order. The completed record can retain each product link, its article number and its actual instruction link, then note the shared edition and identical retained content. The buyer no longer needs to treat the color-named filenames as two different assembly methods merely because the addresses differ.

Before using instructions for a real item, follow the current link for that exact item and review the applicable document, including its warnings. This article is a document comparison, not a shortened assembly procedure or permission to substitute parts. If the real package or its paperwork differs, preserve that discrepancy for the retailer rather than forcing it into this pair.

No beige article is included in the completed comparison. Its exact product-to-manual mapping was not established in the retained research. The two verified chains are enough to show the point without attaching an unverified third product to a document based on its filename.
