What engines went into the R16

Mazda planned to produce a mid engined sports car. The protype was tested with 3 rotor and 4 rotor engines.Were these the 15A and 20A?

If there was an experimental 20A, it might explain the 20B.

The 15A was a "big block" two rotor engine as was the 21A. Not sure about the 20A though...

Revhed - thanks, of course the 15A was 2x737 cc and the 21A 2x1064cc for the large GT project of 1972. I am not certain whether protype engines were actually built

Are any of these different models of rotary engines actually out there anywhere?
