Were Black & Red seats available on any NC?

I've been looking at NCs recently, and found two cars with black and red leather seats (red centre panel and black outside).

What makes me curious is that (1) I have not seen any other cars advertised with this combination, (2) they are both for sale at the same dealers, and (3) the interior is described in both ads as "unique" (!)

Was this combination ever offered by Mazda, or has the dealer had them re-trimmed?

There's a white one there with the exact same interior so I'd guess it's just a re-trim they do to tart them up and freshen the look. If the quality of the job is good it wouldn't put me off, they seem to have a good selection of cars to pick through.

Only Leather options when I got mine were black, white!!!, and brown on one of the limited editions. I've seen pumpkin on miata.net over in the states.
Mazda couldn't give the white away at the time and I had considered just buying the one they had in stock and having them re-trimmed.

IIRC, both UK Venture Special editions came with all-brown leather seats, and part-brown door cards. Those look neat, but the seats don't look original.

The launch edition (2005) had all-red seats. I'm not aware of an OEM black/red seat that looks like that.

There were at least 2 different shades of brown seat.
