Don't quite understand what the numbers in the brackets mean but Piazza (6) has the MSG-5N ratios, the Piazza (13) has the MSG-5H ratios, and the Piazza (4,5) has the MSG-5X ratios (appeared in the JDM '81.5 Piazzas and probably on the NZ destined Piazzas). Still doesn't tell me if the 5N or 5H is Oz spec.

The Australian sales brochure and service manual list the 5H ratios

Thanks Bugle. Not that I'm in desperate need for parts because I already have a rebuilt tranny, but I'm trying to source suppliers in the States for the benefit of our forum members. But damn the 5N would be a pretty good replacement if I can't source any 5H parts. I gotta say 5N parts is just as hard to source at this time. Anyway I'll wait and see what these 2 suppliers say.

The notations are as follows:
