Could you list the part numbers for the panels you checked? Getting that 
in the git history would be really helpful for future archaeologists 
(including me).

Also whilst changing the header I'd also say that "I guess that" does 
not inspire much confidence. It sounds like you have done some homework 
here... surely you've moved past guess work!
