How many X-2s are there?

I was noticing on the knievel collection site, there is a photo of two X-2 skycycles and the date was 1974. The skycycle in the foreground has a damaged nose and looks just like the one Evel traveled with. The skycycle in the background isn't damaged at all. Now the damaged skycycle has the same paint job like the skycycle that Evel jumped in except for the "Champion of Japan" flag and type on the tail. If the background skycycle was a test one, how come it isn't damaged? The non damaged background Skycycle looks like the one that is currently in the Evel Knievel museum in Niagara Falls. Here's my observation. The photo was taken before the Sept. 8 jump. The foreground Skycycle was a test X-2 and so was the background one. To me it looks like Evel had three X-2's made and the one he jumped in didn't have the "Champion of Japan" on the tail and that is the skycycle that is missing. Can someone help me understand?
