All the 12A engine versions came with with the same 12A cast mark, from the RX-2 in 1973 onwards to the RX-7 GT-X Turbo in 1985. The engine numbers appear to be in different batches, for example my 12A 1985 is 249 0184 but my 12A efi turbo engine from the same year is 716 712.
I also know of some 1.3 litre engines with 12A cast marks.
As a matter of interest it is 12A not 12a, arising out of Japanese not having a lower case. They generally used either Arabic numbers or English capitals letters as there is no alpabetical sequence in a character based language.
