Is it possible for different coloured shell stands to have been packaged with the sea ponies... other than the "technically correct" shells listed on sites like the MLP Wiki?

The reason I'm asking is I'm going through a new checklist I made, for accesories... and the shell I have for Wavedancer is different than the one listed HERE on the MLP Wiki. (and also corroborated here on Ponyland Press)

When I pulled out my Wavedancer, from childhood... her shell is definitely pink, not purple. This is the same shell I've had with Wavedancer since I was a kid. So I'm just wondering if this was a case of a mis-packaged shell (and thus check this AS being Seawinkle's shell, despite it "belonging" to Wavedancer this whole time). Does it happen often, or is this a rare case?

I've never heard of it happening to the sea ponies's shells, but I have heard of their combs/brushes being switched. So while I wouldn't be terribly surprised, it would be a rare thing.

Other ponies have come with mismatched accessories on occasion. However, it is rare and extremely hard to prove without MIB photos of the error although in some cases of childhood herds it can be deduced. For example, I did find a photo of a First Tooth baby with a stack toy in the original colors which confirmed my suspicion that one of mine likely came mis-packed too (even missing a couple pieces, I had too many of those colors and too few of the First Tooth colors to match up with my childhood herd when I was sorting them).
 
Well, I guess this was one of those rare cases, for me. ... I'm in Canada, so I'm now also wondering if it was a Canadian thing. x.x; Doubtful though. It probably is one of those very rare mis-packs. Very interesting! :)

I know it's been years since I was a kid... but I really don't think that my 'original' shell was lost, and replaced, or accidentally swapped with someone else's. This is the shell I had with Wavedancer since I got her. No MIB photos of me getting her (as far as I know; I've got tons of old photos to eventually dig through and organize. x.x)

I guess I will mark it as Seawinkle's... since technically it IS hers... though I'm personally keeping the shell with Wavedancer. It's been hers forever. :) If I ever get Wavedancer's technically correct shell, Seawinkle can have it. XD
