Look at C3D. The alternate circuit has the positive side of C3D connected to R54. However, it also shows that the negative side of C3D is connected to +245V. That is definitely an error as C3 is a four section electrolytic with a common ground. Since C3A-C are all in the power supply, their negative sides all go to ground.

What gives? SAMS error?
What my hard copy of the Sam's for this TV shows is that C3A-C3C are in one can and C3D is a separate non-polarized cap in some models in a small note on the bottom of the schematic which is what that is all about.

I hope that helps you out.
