Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 375  Name: Castle
* 
375-2 (Inv) Castle
706 Parts, 14 Minifigures, 1978
Sets: Castle: Classic Castle

* Add 2 Part 3040 Blue Slope 45 2 x 1
* Add 2 Part 3005 Blue Brick 1 x 1
* Add 3 Part 3023 Red Plate 1 x 2
* Add 6 Part 3062b Yellow Brick, Round 1 x 1 Open Stud (Alternate) (match ID 2)
* Change 6 Part Yellow 3062a Brick, Round 1 x 1 Solid Stud {Regular to Alternate} {match ID 0 to 2}

Comments from Submitter:
I am a proud owner of this set since 1980, I still have the original box, manual and catalog. Recently I acquired another set, in very similar shape, and by checking it against BrickLink's inventory I noticed that some pieces, physically present in both sets of mine, are still missing from BrickLink's inventory.

The four blue pieces (2 bricks and 2 slopes) are not used in the main model, but were present in the original box and used in the alternate models. Also, there were 4 red 1x2 plates, only one is used in the main model but all the four are used in some alternate models. Finally, the yellow round 1x1 bricks in my original box have an open stud, so this must be an "alternate" version.

Interesting find. For 1980, the round brick with open stud would be expected.
The other pieces, especially the blue ones, are a bit unusual, and I'm curious
as to which alternate models you find them in. Can you post pictures?

At least the red plates are here (upper right, next to LEGO"):

Thanks! The blue pieces remind me of the mounted horsemen in this set:

Are your blue slopes hollow?

The slope 3040 Blue Slope 45 2 x 1 with bottom tube
 
Part No: 3040  Name: Slope 45 2 x 1
* 
3040 Slope 45 2 x 1
Parts: Slope

was first produced in 1981. I know that based on many, and many, and many! used
and new sets from 1980-82 that I checked. However, many sets produced in early
1981 still came with 3040a without bottom tube, because TLG had still left-over!

The castle 375 was produced between 1978-1983, and 6075 between late 1980 and
1983 (or 1984?. This can be checked). So you can expect those produced after
1982 or even late 1981, came with slopes with bottom tube.

The OP wrote that he got his set in 1980. If so, I am sure all his slopes in
blue, yellow or red don't have bottom tube
