1986 245: brake bleeder number inconsistent with reports 200

hello all
so it seems that i am supposed to have THREE bleeders on my two front calipers, and two on the rear (1986 245). i checked, and unless i'm wrong, i have only two bleeders on the front, and (presumably) two on the back, though I didn't check.
Should I be looking for a third or is it normal and i just have been given misinformation? I am okay with that, but i would be troubled to find this mysterious third bleeder, getting down there is such a pain.

secondly, the bleeding sequence i've read here is inconsistent with that of my (admittedly really bad) Chilton guide (so bad because is covers every model from 1970 to 1993). Chilton says start with the front left, then move to the front right, then rear left, rear right. people here say otherwise. who should I trust?

well that is it, please advise! thank you brickboard!

p.s. i successfully replaced my brake junction box, and i feel good.
