Bionicle 8996 Bag identification

[Legacy Man]

I'm about to sell this unopen set I stumbled upon recently. Inside I found 2xBag#3 when its shown there should only be 1 bag. In a photo in the middle of the manual at the start of bag#3 build, it sorta indicate 2xbag#3 but not clear. A reviewer photo only show 1 bag#3.

I took a photo of what I have attached. I think it is all correct but I don't want to sell the set if the bags are all mixed up. Anyway to clearly find out if all the bags I have are correct and not missing any?

I see some of the bags are from Skopio:

Edit: Sorry, I didn't understand your thread at first. That bag 3 with the tan bricks seems to be from another set indeed.

That bag 3 is from Thornatus V9.

You can tell because it has a tan armor piece that is used near the vehicle handles that Perditus grabs to.

I wonder how that bag got into this set ... this set was found at Toys R Us supposedly "brand new" abeit it being a little bit beat up on the outside and looked like it was opened. I would imagine most people would buy lego to steal a bag or replace and return but not throw in an additional bag while taking nothing. Very odd indeed. It looks like everything else is in here so I'm going to list it. Thanks for the confirmation.

I think I have the mystery solved -- I went back to Toys R Us and there is a Thornatus V9 Set that looks badly banged up and clearly a returned box. Shockingly it was at full MSRP! My guess is both this set and the set I bought must've at one point somehow both opened and all the bags fell out. Someone carelessly tossed them back in and taped it back up. The set I bought was very beat up on the outside.
