They all seem to be about the same. Note that the Bruce T video totally skips clearancing the side seals, which is odd.

There are minor differences throughout the years and models but the basic internals have changed very little. Beginning with the FC 13B, Mazda added an oil thermo bypass in the E-shaft for oil. Also with the early FCs there's a difference in the o-ring between the front cover and front iron. Other than that the only major difference is the apex seals. They can be 2,3 or 6mm wide, 1, 2 or 3 piece, carbon, steel or ceramic. And lets not get started on the early twin dizzy engines.
