I've got no technical expertise, but I would guess it won't fit. The blocks are the same, but I think the heads were different in the 94-98 BP engines, so it wouldn't work. But wait for someone who knows what they're talking about before you give up. Also, the 90-94 cam cover is awesome, it says MAZDA maaaan.

straight swap. bolts up all the same.
gear back plate and upper cover will need to be changed to 94-98 versions also. heads are the same exturnally, 90-98 BP, 90-94 BPT. |

2 - the part you wanna swap!!!
6 - upper timing belt cover 3 - gear back plate these are the only parts that require changing to alternate the 90-94 and 94-98 cam covers. |

Damn Ryan you are the man for Mazda knowledge. I still like my old style cam cover, but that's cool that it can be swapped.

I've never seen flow test results for BP05 vs. BP26 heads, BP-4W though does flow better however you would need to modify your inlet manifold to bolt to it.
