Where are you getting two from? By the definitions on this page, it seems to me like there are four corner-connected rectilinear configurations of two bricks, and also four homotopy equivalence classes, so there's no inconsistency.

Your ascii art has convinced me! I imagined you could rotate the left two into each other but that makes no sense.
