I don't have an RB5, but and UK MY95. I had some problems with this when I had the screen changed a couple of years ago.
If I remeber rightly, the garage said that I needed a blue tint screen, so I said OK. But when I drove the car it just didn't look right. I could see a difference between the front and rear/side windows. The garage said that this was just because the windscreen is laminated (so why didn't I notice this before?). Anyway, After checking on Scoobynet I went back to the garage and the changed it for a green tint. That was a much better match and I can not now notice any difference to the other windows.
Hope this helps. It was a few years ago and I'm *almost* sure I got the blue/green the right way around in my post here
