I've observed that sometimes one base is used for alignment when pouring the crane base, but it is pulled out and a different one installed when the crane actually goes up. I can think of a couple possible reasons:
2. Use a normal section for the fit-up, but a special one of some sort for the actual base (either heavier or special to support climbing/section insertion)
3. Use a damaged/scrap/no longer serviceable section for the fit-up
