Yes they do. 1L, 1R, 2L and tailcone. And the drill to get the rear jumpseat out of the way, get the tailcone off the aircraft, deploy the slide and get the walkway into position is a real drama!
the tailcone seems to be intact in the photo; these passengers are using airstairs, not an emergency exit, are they not? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
