I believe that the conflicting numbers of people going to Japan 38 or 55 reflects on an important detail.
There was a number of people that went with the bochurim to Japan and received visas to go to America shortly after they arrived. My great uncle R Moishe Leib Rodshtein and his wife went to Japan and shortly after arriving there went on to America. I believe that they weren’t the only ones, as per your article.
Of course This is besides the nine bochurim that went to Canada
