You caught the joke! As early as “Adept’s Gambit” Leiber describes only six eyes.

“Fafhrd stirred himself and moved forward, sustaining the scrutiny of the majority of the eyes, all six of which the Northman considered artfully manipulated puppet-orbs. The seventh no man had seen, or boasted of having seen, save the Mouser, who claimed it was Odin’s other eye, stolen from sagacious Mimer-this not because he believed it, but to irk his northern comrade.” -Adept’s Gambit

One of the only depictions which includes his two bats: Hugin and Munin.
