Depends how you define bonus tracks and whether you include Paninaro 95 as part of Very or Bilingual.

Very single bonus tracks:
Hey headmaster
What keeps mankind alive
Shameless
Violence
Too many people
Decadence
If love were all
Can you forgive her (swing)
Euroboy
Some speculation
Girls and boys

Relentless
My head is spinning
Forever in love
We came from outer space
KDX-125
The man who has everything
One thing leads to another

New versions
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
Yesterday when I was mad

Bilingual single bonus tracks:
Hit and miss
The truck driver and his mate
In the night 95
Betrayed
How I learned to hate rock and roll
Confidential
Discoteca (new version)
The clam before the storm
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Delusions of grandeur
The view from your balcony
Disco potential

Paninaro 95
Paninaro 95

Somewhere
Somewhere

So the Very era produced more tracks but Bilingual had more b sides but it's fair to say Nonetheless - with around 30 additional tracks (inc demos and alt versions) - has eclipsed both Very and Bilingual in terms of sheer volume of material

The “Delinquent” version of “All the Young Dudes” is produced by PSB and isn’t referred to as a mix, so I’m guessing this is a unique recording of the song rather than a remix.

No shortage of new material this year, which is a delight. I'm less sure that much of it is any real cop, but that's a different discussion and probably misses the point at this stage of their artistic and commercial half-life.

As I walked home from the local shop late last night, New London Boy came on the headphones and I thought to myself that I’m going to make a video using clips from the YouTube videos of Kings Road in the 70s

I’ll still give it a go

All the young dudes is a neat pair with New London boy given Neil has cited Bowie as a major influence on both the song and his life in the early seventies when he arrived in the capital. Fantastic photos as well; I love the one of Chris particularly.
Woof.
