How many quick-donning O2 masks are included in the flight deck equipment?

Quick-donning oxygen masks in the flight deck are there so both pilots can immediately get oxygen in an emergency, like a depressurization or smoke in the cockpit. The setup includes three masks so there’s a mask for each pilot plus a spare ready at hand. This redundancy ensures no delay if one mask is damaged or in use, keeping the cockpit protected without waiting. The other counts would either miss that extra spare or add more than what’s typically configured, which isn’t how the equipment is arranged for this scenario.
