The back of the second box said that 374 counters were included, which would mean two identical sheets, but in one of the BGG forums someone who opened up a presumably new box reported only one counter sheet, with respondents saying that the one sheet was sufficient for all the scenarios. The picture I have of this edition also shows only one sheet.
The 187 isn't all that unusual, just unique to that box (I remember thinking it was a bigger sheet than I was used to seeing when I got it )

I don't have an unpunched set, but going off the quantity of red/white Ogres I have, I'm 95% sure it's only a single sheet. I also find it unlikely the Black Box version had two counter sheets, but that's one that I don't have (and not likely to spend $100 to get it)
