I wouln't really count all the cover versions he's been playing live over the years. The only two genuine Morrissey songs are Playing Easy To Get and Noise Is The Best Revenge. Along with the mysterious Home Is A Question Mark, this counts for three unreleased tracks from YATQ!
Off the top of my head: Sweet and Tender Hooligan, Is it Really So Strange?, This Night Has Opened My Eyes, Handsome Devil have all only officially been released as radio session versions.

are they really, strange. wait not just radio songs but some of those do have studio recordings. louder than bombs at least has the first two. i also dont think cover versions should count
Nope. The versions of 'Is It Really So Strange' and 'Sweet and Tender Hooligan' on 'Louder than Bombs' are both BBC radio session versions, recorded for John Peel's radio show. No versions of these songs from any 'proper' Smith's recording session has ever been officially released. An abandoned, unfinished attempt by John Porter to record a proper studio version 'Is It Really So Strange' has been leaked onto bootlegs a few years ago, but that's it. Shame, really.
