It claims that the USA got the DC5-R which simply isn't true.

Nope, The RSX-S is a far cry from the DC5 ITR.

The S is a full-weight car whereas the ITR isn't, and the ITR has, I believe 220hp as opposed to the 200hp from the S.

I'm sure there are other differences as well. A lot goes into making an ITR an ITR, at least that was the case with the DC2. Hand assembled engines and all that.
