You're right, the 40th one is the 3rd Nanoavionics cubesat for "undisclosed customer" (on the left picture).

I am pretty sure, that the Nanoavionics cubesat for an "undisclosed customer" is in fact the Pixxel TD-2 (Shakuntala) satellite.

The photo of Pixxel TD-2 looks very much like a Nanoavionics cubesat (white structure and patterns of solar cells).

Inbound JRTI droneship is close but moving slow.

ASOG droneship is still in Port as AX-1 slides and needs to be moved/depart before JRTI can berth .

Arrival possibly now mid - morning

The tug Finn Falgout was towing the SpaceX ASDS JRTI with booster B1061 onboard towards Port Canaveral but has now changed direction. Waiting for ASOG to move out?

Falcon 9 B0161 returning to Port Canaveral on SpaceX drone ship Just Read The Instructions.

Humans (and Octagrabber) for scale.

Here are a few more images of SpaceX booster 1061 arriving back at Port Canaveral after 7 successful launches and landings! One can see the tug “Finn Falgout” towing the ASDS “Just Read The Instructions” with the booster onboard.

Agree, but in this case one payload is still missing (whatever it is, deployable or not). If we don't consider the two SUCHAI 3 subsatellites, we only have 39 payloads.

If we consider the two SUCHAI 3 subsatellites, then we have 41 payloads  :(

You're assuming the missing payload is a satellite.  It could be a hosted payload.  You're also assuming we have a real count for the number of payloads.  T-3 taught us that the numbers in the press release may not be accurate.  We don't really know how they counted the stuff on ION.  I'm not even bothering to try making the numbers match with the amount of information we have right now.  I don't even know who integrated all of the ports.
