The a2 and b2 pawns play no role, they can (and should) be removed.

Otherwise it's a nice puzzle.

it plays a role, if there are no pawns, black can just take the rook

I think you should look at it again.

There are in fact three #2 solutions here. On 1. Rc7 you have the text of #2, 1... Bxc7 2. Bxc7# and 1... Bd4 2. Rc5#. Pretty much any square the Bishop goes to is answered by Rc5#.
