It the video the transaxle case adapter looks like its in contact with 5th gear. For how loose that is in the video there would have to be no shim, worn/bad bearings, if the two housing are tight.
And from what I recall its a difference in the 5th gear hub/slider from a early 1g to the late 1g and into the 2g they switched to use the cast iron 5th/rev shift fork. I am not sure but I would guess the 5th/rev shift rails are different also.
Any time I install a 4 spider center diff its easy to look inside to see all 4 spider gears.
Also at that point why not check the center diff end play per the factory manual and tell us, it was X off?
As for the Evo 3/4th gears check out this page, there is a lot of good DSM tranny info.

You will notice the EVO 3 and 4 gears have 4 holes for tabs off the double synchro, it is easy to look in from the side of the gear set and see if there at tabs going down into the 3/4th gears. If they are not present its not an evo 3 or 4th gear.
