Why would the PPDC build more than one Jaeger of a specific specification?

After reading the movie's novelization and it's other paperback novel, Man, Machines and Monsters, one image caught my eye, specifically this one, this image is in the Man, Machines and Monsters book, so I would think it is canon.
This image is interesting, as it directly contradicts what the PPDC believed in during the Kaiju War, that each Jaeger is designed to combat different types of Kaiju. Every Jaeger is unique in the same way that each Kaiju is unique (in terms of abilities, skills and features). This would mean that the PPDC would only build one type of Jaeger at a time to combat new Kajiu threats, like Coyote Tango and it's back mounted Mortar cannons and now Horizon Brave and it's shoulder mounted Cryo Cannons.
This raises yet another question, If the belief is to be followed stringently as it is seen in the movie and the novelization, why would the PPDC build more than one Jaeger of a specific class/set/specification at any given point in time?

I would think that the Jaeger in the back has less work done on it when compared to the Jaeger in the foreground, like a production line, especially given the time of the war when Kaiju attacks were isolated events.

First, while the Jaegers in the image (see below) are very similar, they are not identical. Compare the finished left arm of the one in front with the finished right arm of the one in back, and the hip sections of the two robot; there are subtle differences.
Second, while these two Jaegers have similar exteriors, their weapon systems may be very different. One could spray fire and the other bullets, for all we can see. There may be good reasons to base several Jaegers on variations of the same hull design with different weapon systems, as well as having radically different Jaeger designs.
Why would the PPDC build more than one Jaeger of a specific (or similar) design at any given point in time? Maybe they did that at first, before it became obvious how different the Kaiju were - it is, after all, standard military thinking to mass-produce weapons; and then, this image might be from that period. Or maybe they would decide that having one extra of particularly successful design made sense in case the first broke down.

I feel that the Horizon Brave page supports your conjecture of early models being similar as it states that it is among the first to be constructed.

It would make sense to have a backup unit in case there is an attack while the main unit is being repaired.
Since we routinely see Jaegers getting damaged, I'd wager the possibility of them needing lengthy repairs would be anticipated.
