[Kickstand3]

Iv rebuilt quite a few of these the one thing that confuses me is how many disk ? Different count !

The stack should measure .750"(3/4")

Based on your picture, you're missing one of the style on the left. You there should always be one more of those than the ones with the tabs.
You start and end your stack with the ones on the left.

I think some hubs do have different disk counts, disks in some hubs seem thicker than disks in other hubs.

I've even added an extra disc for less pedal freeplay

Exactly so - it's better to go off of the stack measurement as FordMike suggests than a set number of discs. Some hubs have a thicker, heavy-duty type disc, while others have thinner discs.

I've sometimes had to use one without tabs behind the brakearm to take up some lose slack. Made the arm stiffer & more solid

I had one with the same configuration as yours, one of the steel ones were missing. Puzzled me, but when I found another to put with it the stack was 3/4 inch so I figured someone must have lost one when servicing.
