IF you actually read them you would have had your answer: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/specifications-what-did-2nd-generation-rx-7-come-w-options-standard-features-249616/
What the fc's standard features were, you'll see the GTU and GXL (not GLX) differences

Thanks andrew... I recently crashed my GTU but the driveline is ok (had a new pineapple under the hood) and recently a 1990 GXL came up for sale. The guy is selling it for 1500 while repairing my GTU would cost 2500ish. What would you do fix or swap?

Despite all that however, the 89-90 GTU is the base strippy model and not really worthy of the GTU name.
The 89-90 GTUs model (note the small "s") is really the successor to the 88 GTU and 86-87 Sport.
As an intresting footnote, I was speaking with one of the Japanese engineers at this last 7 stock and he told me the 89-90 GTUs model was orignially supposed to have a non turbo 20B in it, but Mazda cheaped out (much like the did on the entire S5 run) and because of gas mileage and stuck the regular 13B in it and put the 4.3 rear end to try and make up for that. He said that was the low point in his working on the RX-7.
