2018-present data:
See the note under

-- registered and unregistered are grouped together in this data
2009-2015 data:
The page indicates that "Also all ip addresses that occur more than once on
a given day are discarded for that day."
I don't know of any public data sources where registered/unregistered are
explicitly split out. For some countries, you could probably make some
reasonable estimates by applying assumptions around which languages are
most strongly associated with the country -- e.g., jawiki for Japan:

Dear Isaac and Su-Laine,
Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate it. Correct me if I'm
wrong, these sources report the number of edits or editors, but don't
break
down the kind of editors (registered and
non-registered) per country? I
need to answer that question.
Thanks again!
Tom

monthly data on editors per country:

NOTE: as Nemo pointed out, there are privacy concerns centered around
this
data, so that data only gives you rough bins and
has some filtering
criteria applied:

2009 - 2015:
There is also some quarterly data from several years ago that ends in
2015

report
(the last
one) notes that there are inconsistencies in the data so I
don't
know how much to trust it. Perhaps others will
know more about why this
report was discontinued and what data can be trusted in it.
Best,
Isaac

Hi Thomas,
This isn’t quite what you asked for, but the editor survey from 2018
might
be helpful:
