That rocker cover will be on any 1.8L FP engine. The only difference between that one and the SP20 one is that the FP once doesn't have posts to put the plastic turtle cover on.

If you got to Mazdas247 and search for ForceFed, he can supply you with one painted any which way you like.

The shipping cost is not too much because the are relatively light. I think that you could prolly get one here for around $200.
