Oh. I found some stuff.
Mazda R130
Unveiled in October 1969 at the 15th Tokyo Motor Show, the Mazda R130 (Luce Rotary Coupe ) ran on a Type 13A engine, newly developed for the vehicle and featuring two 655cc rotor housings. Its thrilling high-speed cruising was thanks to its quiet engine and aerodynamic body design that eliminated the front door quarter lights.

As far as I know it is the only production engine Mazda made with a different stoke.
ie. 10A, 12A, 13B all have the same eccentric shaft offset, but with different width rotors. 13A had a larger offset giving it more torque but not as free reving.
