keep in mind that the original source is actually a parts book. in the USA the book (singular, one) got taken apart and photographed into Mirco-fish. Then they took the microfilm and copied that into the computer, so this is why some pictures are terrible quality. and then, since the original Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC), there have been 9 more that we know about. we're currently running GEPC II, Global Electronic Parts Catalog, non flash, in the USA. or the Snap On one.
so i guess its like music, it used to be live, then on the scroll of paper (or copper), and then record, 8 track, tape, CD, MP2, MP3, so there are a lot of ways to see the same data.

i saw this in a Miata service bulletin, and it gives you some idea of how many markets/catalogs Mazda has (of course its missing Japan!)

By Series 5 you mean Version 5, or are you asking about second generation FC?
Initial parts catalogue for Version 5 does not show any type having two seats.
For version 4 cars only the Type RZ (airbag and non-airbag) are shown to be two seaters (nininnori).
For version 6, The Spirit R Typa A and the Type RZ are shown to be two seaters.
It is possible that if there was a Version 5 Type RZ produced after the first parts catalogue, it may have been a two seater).
Also as the rear bins set up was generally available, it is possible that any type could have the rear bins switched in..
