Can you also implement this search query in the Wanted List?

Question: How can I be sure that I am buying the (era)correct part? Example: set "6951 Robot Command Center" from 1984 is missing 1x "Brick, Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole" = part 3941 in White. However, the new part has a 'bottom ring' visible and the original parts did not have that (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941&C=1#T=C&C=1). So when using the 'buy all' option or selection all wanted lists that I want to buy parts for, how do I know I get the correct part and not the newer version? Or has this option fully disappeared from Bricklink now? In that case: what parts-buying site does still make the distinction between versions of a part? Many thanks for your help. Kind regards, Menno
