ANd how come then the numberplate lists it as a Zetec S, otherwise i wouldnt have listed as such in the first place. Being a modified rally car, couldnt it have started out as a basic Zetec S and then customized with an ST looking rally bodykit?

If I understood correctly, WRC cars must now be based on an existing R5. And instead of saying "it's a Group R5 Fiesta ST", we must say "it's a Fiesta R5". A bit like the WRC cars which aren't based on a specific, road-going version.
