2 Peter numeration

The article said:

2 Peter has no numeration, leading to the conclusion that the system of divisions dates prior to the time the Epistle came to be commonly regarded as canonical.[1]

And I still find the claim repeated in the late 20th century.[1][2] However, more recent sources that have clearly studied the manuscript at first hand indicate an original numeration of two chapters in 2 Peter,[3][4] so that it is not really treated differently from the other epistles. My guess is that the older sources were working from the pseudo-facsimile, which seems to have omitted the numeration in 2 Peter, rather than the actual manuscript.[5] But perhaps someone more knowledgeable in these matter could kindly confirm.
