(i) that other asset had, at any time, formed part of the same asset as the first-mentioned asset, and

(4) Section 835C shall not apply instead of any other provision of Part 9, 10, 23, 24, 24A, 29 or 36 or Schedule 18B if its application would result in the amount of—

(a) any allowances to be made to an acquirer in respect of capital expenditure incurred on an asset being higher, or

(b) any balancing allowance to be made to a supplier arising from the supply of an asset being higher, or

(c) any balancing charge to be made on a supplier arising from the supply of an asset being lower,

than would be the case under the provision or provisions concerned of Part 9, 10, 23, 24, 24A, 29 or 36 or Schedule 18B.
