I was browsing through the webpage of Japanese radicals on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_Japanese_kanji_radicals)
I noticed
74 - 月
and
130 - 肉
bot entries are referencing in the most right column to the respective other radical
I looked furthermore into the KANJIDIC2 kanji-lexicon file and it seems like these two kanjis-radicals are seemingly randomly assigned to kanjis.
According to this dictionary, the Kanji 育 has 肉 as radical (which it obviously has not, its 月). I made this observation in many places (I assumed all open dictionaries rely on the same public Kanji dictionary?)
<literal>育</literal>

<radical>
<rad_value rad_type="classical">130</rad_value>
<rad_value rad_type="nelson_c">8</rad_value>
</radical>
Does anyone know the (historical) background of this 肉/月 radical interchangeability
