T-Series Does my TD have 2 or 3 metal top bows?

My TD has a vinyl top and side curtains (with some holes worn through) that I'd like to replace. Because Moss is running a special on tops, I might order one right now.

How ca I tell if my TD has 2 or 3 free-standing metal top bows? It seems like 2 to me: one at the far aft, another just fore of that one, with arms that lead fairly horizontally to the bow that meets the windshield. Or is that three??

The car is serial number 14358, if that helps. Probably more helpful are the pictures below. Thanks in advance!

Matt

Yep, Vinnie, your black one has a 3 bow....
 
Bows are the metal cross pieces, not counting the header rail which is the piece that sits on the windshield frame.
 
I've actually got one of each but my TD came with a 3 bow. The 2 bow is from an earlier car.
 
Yep, I also have a 2-bow frame in a plywood box stacked against the wall.
