The 93-95 has 25mm thick rotors, so the thinner (22mm) 1992 rotors will bolt up to a later car, but at the end of the pad life the pistons could be dangerously close to coming out of their bores. The break was by model year, not production date... all 1992's should have the 22mm rotors, all 1993-up should have the 25mm rotors. It's also possible that someone installed used calipers at some point from the "wrong" car.
