In answer to #1) they are dealer add-ons and didn't come from the factory that way - one needs to only look at the original brochures. That said, Mazda actually lists pin stripes in the parts catalogue for JDM models, so it may be that the typical twin style pinstripes were OEM Mazda parts (even if they were ultimately fitted by dealers). This may be why the pin stripes are the same on US and Australian models even though both were dealer-fitted.

I have expanded on that here (noting that it refers to Australian models): AusRotary.com ? View topic - 84-85 RX-7 brochures - original pinstriping
