i believe those are rotary aviation seals with their price bumped up slightly.
just go directly to mazda, Atkins or RA for the seals... mazdatrix has a decent price on OEM seals and so do a few forum members here, you can get a 2mm 2piece OEM seal set for about $270 and since RA bumped up their price i would strongly suggest Atkins over RA since the price is nearly the same now.

There is no reason to not EVER use OEM seals! It would be foolish to think some mom and pop shop could design a seal bettor then the only factory doing it for the past 60 years.
Unlimited budget race car use OEM certified Ianeti “forgot how to spell it” seals.
I purchas my OEM seals from www.speedmachineperformance.com

stock 2pc 2mm seals or ianetti ceramics if you can afford them
id only go w/ 3mm if i had apex seal groove damage in my rotor and didn't want to replace the rotor.
a **** tune will blow any motor on a turbo rotary
people have made over 650rwhp on stock seals
and theyre good for RPMs just south of 10k rpm
2pc 2mms for me
i would do ianettis but dont want to spend the $1k+ or so over price of stock seals, even though theyre lighter and don't wear the motor as fast partly because theyre lightweight
I did just about every mod there is to my motor other than ceramic apex seals and the water jacket mod and stuck w/ 2pc 2mm OE mazda seals

i think theyre carbon filled aluminum to be specific. maybe i have that backwards lol
but anyways theyre supposedly only good for like 30k miles and i would rather spend the money on the ianettis if i had a motor that needed to rev past 10k like a nice pport or something

In my 87' SE I used the Racing Beat carbon seals and they took what ever I threw at them (8K RPM, Alkie, 290F Intake temps, overheated three times.) I rebuilt the engine twice and every thing but the apex seals died. But I heard some where that they are brittle and can't stand predetonation... I personally have never ran into the problem but the again I've always had a fairly retarded ignition to prevent things of that nature,
