That seems very probable: Fassler-Lotterer-Treluyer, Capello-Kristensen-McNish and Bernhard-Dumas-Rockenfeller.
Of course there is still the rumor that Duval will race for Audi in Le Mans. Bonanomi and some of Audi's DTM youngster are eager to participate in Le Mans as well.

In fact, Audi and Peugeot can almost automatically get a 3rd entry, because of this rule:

h) 3rd car for the Le Mans 24 Hours:
For the 24-Hour event only, the manufacturers entered in the FIA World Endurance Championship for LMP1 Manufacturers may enter a 3rd car, subject to the agreement of the Selection Committee for the 24 Hours, which will be eligible to score points in the Championship.

The 4th entry will only be approved "exceptionally" and if it is of "interest".
