Two Tone 83'? Any more out there??

Hey-
Ive known for some years now that an rx7 never came out of the factory with more than a single color paint scheme. Ive also done countless research into whether or not a two tone paint job could have been a factory option with the same answers. But when you have an 83 GSL two-tone brown over gold with orange pinstipes that looks original, has overspray in all the right areas, and hasnt been repainted (I can tell due to a few deep scratches and there isnt any other underlying color, save the primer) you begin to think there's more here possibly than everyones telling me. Im still hopeful here but know that it could have been stripped down completely soon after 83. So any knowledge or speculation even will be appreciated!!

Mazda did indeed sell a two tone gold/brown Rx-7 in 1983. I have a dealer brochure from Japan for the 1983 Savanna Rx-7. The colors listed are Red, Blue, Black, White, Silver and.........yes Gold/brown two tone reserved for the most expensive Rx-7 at the time the "Se-Limited". It was only avaialble with brown leather. See photo.
