Indeed, unfortunately. I see that every face lifted Ford is is being counted as a new generation, but is it really correct? This is just a face-lifted Mk III.

Escort not Orion, the Orion was never a hatchback

When listing European cars, take a close look because many of them as designed as hatchbacks rather than sedans (some examples: Ford Escort, Focus, Mondeo, Sierra, Granada, Vauxhall/Opel Vectra, Cavalier, Renault Laguna, Safrane, Rover 800, 400/45, Citroen XM, Xantia, Saab 9000), although with some of the cars I've listed sedan versions are also available.

Until 1993 (the Mark Vb), the sedan version of the Escort was called the Orion.

Yes that's true until ~1994 m.y., though it is sometimes impossible to tell is it Escort or Orion as there where no differences in genration 'Vb' (btw. 'Vb' sounds more sensibly for me than "mk. VI" for 1993-95 Escorts).

Not quite sure what you mean but when the Vb generation was released in 1993 (before the 1995 Mark VI), both the hatchback and sedan versions were called Escort, the Orion name was no longer used (except in Argentina apparentely).

In september 1993 Ford stopped using the orion name(except Argentina)

Like Mackster wrote. Cars were face lifted for 1993 m.y., but the name 'Orion' was still in use for a while in generation 'Vb' - that's what I meant.
