Your logic is flawed, use:

{% if item.category == '1' or item.category == '3' %}

and:

{% if item.category == '2' or item.category == '4' %}

The expression item.category == 2 or 4 does not mean what you think it does; it is interpreted as (item.category == 2) or 4 instead. If item.category is indeed 2, then that expression evaluates to (True) or 4, but if item.category is 3 that becomes (False) or 4, returning 4, which is considered True in a boolean context.

Moreover, you have strings in item.category, but you were testing against int values instead.
