Which mounts are affected in a transmission swap over?

So dstocks is helping me source some parts but we just wanna be sure on what to get. My FTO is a 95 GPX and was manual but had the transmission swapped with a 97 GPvR 5pd tip auto. What we're wondering is which mounts will this conversion affect? I'm trying to replace all of the mounts and need to know which ones need to be for a GPX and which ones need to be for a GPvR.
Thanks guys!

I know for a fact that the 5spd Tip gearbox mount is different.
Dstocks sourced me one from japan for mine.
Also, the lower mounts are slightly different for the tip models but i don't know if its really necessary to change them too because they essentially do the same job?
Correct me if I'm wrong people.

I actually changed my tip ones to manual ones as they are firmer.
Interesting to know about the 5 sp gearbox mount being different as we'll be changin my mates later. Better make sure he has the right one, cheers
