No, its a different model, the Type R came in back in version 3 guise (MY97), the "R" stands for retna which is the codename for the 2 door shell, the R's ran from MY97 to MY00's, with both a WRX limited version on some years and STI versions for all the above years.

Most 2-doors are Type-R's. Other 2-Doors are the UK Spec P1 and the 22b.

All 2 doors share the Retna shell, that includes the P1 and 22B
