But yes Mazda is often cheaper than people expect ha

To do away with the two-piece hose & metal tube & bracket plus the two extra hose clips.
Mine needs replacing & the NB ones fit,is cheaper & less joints to fail [& probably lighter].

Interesting, do you have a picture you can link or post up...?

Also, I agree, Mazda were way cheaper on heater hoses than what I could find around as well. Very surprising, but I always check with them first now.

Here are the pics from the parts books for 94 NA and 99 NB. Looks like there is supposed to be some form of retainer on the NB hose as well.
