G1's replaced by G2's
same ID, different model
When the lease contract of the G1 casting molds with Hagen Renaker ended around 2005/2006, all G1's in running sets and series had to be replaced (G2 was the only alternative back then)
Here's an overview of them:

This Swaps factually comes from the Annie Oakley set, but is also found in the Blockbuster #10304 Hidalgo Mustang Play Set from 2004, which was too short lived to have to be replaced by a G2.

The Arabian Mare is the only model that is easily distinguishable in colour from these two sets.
Besides the eyes being glossed (JCP) or not (Sears), all other models are quite similar in finish. Bear in mind that not all eyes from the JCP sets have been glossed (clearly enough) to make sure that having matte eyes makes it a Sears though! JCP's were sold with a 'Made in China' sticker on their bellies, which can be removed, so missing that is no guarentee either.
