    Looking up part 76525 I get back 3 entries:
    https://blokblok.io/search?q=76525
    While the parts should be the same, the database thinks they are different?!
    - TIle 2 x 1 x 2 corner round, low dome
    - TIle 2 x 1 x 2 corner round, low dome
    - Slope 2 x 1 x 2 corner round, low dome

    Following the brick link naming, I think it should be a curved slope.
    This is the brick link entry:
    https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=5852#T=C
    "Slope, Curved 2 x 2 x 2/3 Corner Round" is the Brick Link name
    I'm not 100% sure on the high to be honest.

    To my understanding the pre-fix like AM, MA & M is only indicating the factory and not part of the Part Code. Maybe we should ignore it here?

    Hmmmmmmmmm interesting. I do recall adding parts from instructions and not being able to locate some common parts in the catalog because e.g. in instructions it would be 'MA123' and BlokBlok would have e.g. 'AM123' – I treated one as a typo in instructions if other sets have a particular naming prefix as a prevalent option.

    If that's the case, I guess I can carefully merge these cases and add other IDs as alt IDs so they remain searchable. Let me snoop around re/ this, and if other ppl have thoughts – please drop them!

    I think you'll find this issue all over the place! Just now I found
    https://blokblok.io/search?q=17834
    And I think you'll find it, if you are looking for a simple 1x4 plate: https://blokblok.io/search?q=9593

    As said my understanding is, the part number is without the letters at the front, so 9593 should be the part number for a 1x4 plate and not the entry we find first e.g. AM9593 or AM09593 or something like that.
