Default Shim Question

On my January 8th '68 built car I have some questions on the body shims.
In all locations I have the alum. puck shim, all locations have what appears to be a steel shim/washer just slightly smaller in diameter and about half as thick as the alum puck. Some locations have a square thim plate/shim with bent over corners. My question is concerning the grease pencil marked shim count. Which of the previous are counted as shims. ie. mount #4 is square plate, washer looking shim and a alum. puck. Is that shim count for that location 3 ? Thanks in advance.

MasterDave,
I apprceiate the intent for moving, however the shimming process would be very similar as C2 therefore I posted in C2, C3, Factory Correct Resto.
