i think most early Jap cars that were 5 stud ran this profile to be more compatible with the aussie market.

Unlikely.
Irrespective of the market these vehicles were sold in, they all had 114.3 x5 PCD. As well as being sold in Japan, they were sold in huge numbers in the Middle East and Europe, in lesser numbers in North America and a (relatively) tiny number here in Australia and NZ. The Australian market for these cars was miniscule. Why setup a world vehicle based on a market that would total maybe 1% of total sales? If they were made to directly copy the Ford wheel then the hub on which the wheel is supported would be the same. It is not - the Ford one is significantly bigger. Ideally, you should use a central collar when using a Ford wheel on a Toyota so that the weight is taken thru the hub, not the wheel studs.
