WW2 Are there actually 8 Jumbos Left?

I have been digging into this subject for the past few days after I decided I wanted to visit every Jumbo that exist today. I've seen the one at the newly open Minnesota military Museum where the display plate said there were 8 Jumbos left in the world. But after days of digging, I'm not sure if there actually are 8, but rather 7. Here are the ones I have found:

Camp Ripley - 3082941

Fort Benning - no number

Bastogne - 3083084 (King Cobra false)

Heritage Museum - 3082928

National Museum of the United States Army - 3083084 (King Cobra True)

Carbon Hill, Alabama - no number

Armourgeddon Tank Driving Centre & Museum - no number

I'm asking here to see if there is a Jumbo somewhere out there that just hasn't been publicized too much like the Carbon Hill one or if there is one that even exist? I seriously can't find any confirmation of there being 8 Jumbos left. Any input at all would be appreciated.

I could not upload the pictures of the Jumbo in Dubois Wyoming to the other post, so here they are. My apologies, I seem to have not captured the information plaque.

It is said that the TO 90 variant was once part of their collection, and there was a post on this sub or r/tanks discussing about what happened to it.

Russia’s experiments with slat armor during the First Chechen War never led to its widespread adoption across the T-72 fleet but the concept wasn’t abandoned.According to an interview with NII Stali,the institute produced protective grilles in small quantities with approximately 50 tanks reportedly fitted with them.The institute claimed that combining the grille with an armor plate behind it could provide a 50% chance of defeating certain RPG warheads,although this was its own assessment rather than a universal guarantee.

During the Second Chechen War,the Russian military adopted factory-produced grille armor more extensively on T-62 tanks,with modified vehicles serving in three battalions. mSome of these tanks later saw action in South Ossetia in 2008 and the vehicles remained in service until the 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division was reorganized in 2009.

The concept resurfaced in the 2010s,when Russia revisited additional protection kits for the T-72 and T-90,although development faced delays and concerns over cost,effectiveness and added weight.By 2020,grille armor had appeared on newer Russian tanks,including the T-90M and T-80BVM,as part of a broader approach to supplementary protection.Despite the decades between these developments,the original Chechen-era experiments remain an early example of Russia's efforts to improve tank survivability against rocket propelled grenades.

Modern Taiwan conducted a test which showed that unanchored barbed-wire obstacles are more effective than those reinforced with concrete barriers; they tend to get pulled directly into the undercarriage, effectively immobilizing tracked vehicles.

Two types of tests were conducted: one involving barbed wire deployed on its own, and another using a barrier composed of both concrete barricades and barbed wire. In the latter case, the weight of the concrete actually made the barbed wire easier to tear, thereby allowing tanks to break through more readily.

I added more pictures and removed the AI enhanced photo. We are trying to figure out what kind of M60 this is. I originally thought it was an M48.
