Did the I8s have one firebox door or two? Does anyone have a good picture of the backhead?

Pouring over tons of pictures while doing research I read that there was tons of variation in I-8s and one variant was I would guess the more common double fire doors or one big fire door. I did 2 fire doors on both as I have no idea what the one big fire door looked like whether it was a big butterfly door which i did 2 of or one with a horizontal opening with doors opening up and down. (which is what I would expect in logic)
