Strange thing is that various sources point to: 3, 4 & 5 purchased airframes...

Most sources -I know of- imply or suggest brand new, fresh from the factory. The ebay find would be supporting this theory.
I think, the truth is that 1 or 2 plane(-s) was/ were officialy acquired and delivered and everything beyond that might have been a plan, wish or idea only. In how far this really was the one (or one of two) Fw190A-5 delivered to Japan still needs to be verified. As said earlier, we cannot be/ are not sure of the authenticity of these documents.
