I was quite young when I first saw this "energy work" and could only wonder full of doubts and skepticism, what was the point of it and how it could be considered exercise. Until I tried it.
I saw a few discipline all perform with different form, which one is the original form. That has created a confusion for world viewers which form if the right one??
Thank you very much for your very interesting question. As you have mentioned, there are lots of versions of the same form. If I could answer to your question, "all the forms are the official ones". That happens so often in Chinese martial arts as you may have remarked, since once the disciples become masters, they add their original touch to make the forms more personal. It's considered as a kind of responsibility or duty as a master. WIMA members have learned a lot from Master Mingyu, so we are familiar with his style. And I can tell you that his style is different from his Master Tian Li Yang.

大师神掌，飘逸如仙，崇拜！
脖與脊未相連
Excellent! Real mastery!

What is a number of this form?
This is not a Taichi so there is no number, it's a Xiao Yao Zhang 逍遥掌.
