Rear centre brake tail light ?

I did a search but couldn't come up with the answer.

When did the tail light on the rear above the plate come in on the rx7? is it only on s5?

The reason I ask is because on some models I have seen them and on others I have not (GT-Limited for example).

Wondering if this is another easy way to come to the conclusion of an rx7 model and what exactly it is.

All years of all the US models of the FC came with the 3rd brake light

This was because the "third brake light" was mandatory on all automobiles starting from 1986 in the U.S. as mandated by the D.O.T.
