If brake fluid were to leak onto the floor, wouldn't the stains stay there for a long time? Any chance the fluid could leak into the brake booster?

Better check under your carpet on the inside of the driver footwell. I once had a leaky clutch master cylinder and I couldn't find the leak either. That was until the day of MOT when the inspector prodded a hole in my footwell. It turned out it leaked passed the seal and dripped down behind the carpet...

About the 3 door EU spec: the EU spec sits somewhere between the GT/GT-V and GT Apex spec. It's more luxurious than GT/GT-V (while the GT had drums) but didn't get fancy things like power steering, aircon or options like power mirrors and power windows. The GT-S was a lot more luxurious and comparable to the GT Apex.
There was one thing we got installed in almost all cars: lsd. The only exceptions are Portugal where the two door didn't get lsd and Switzerland that sold the 4A-C powered SR with open diff. In Japan the lsd was still an option on the GT Apex. In the data I collected the ratio was something like 15% to 20% of the Japanese cars got a lsd from factory.
