I think that the CRX ones would fit the CRX, and the hatch ones would fit a hatch, but I don't think that the CRX ones would fit a hatch and vice versa... those don't look like sedan ones, but I'm positive that the sedan ones would not fit either...
Personally, what I would do (and what I'm ultimately planning on) is to get door panels like that, and remove my seatbelts and put in 3 point harnesses. Even so, you would still have to modify the door panels at the top rear corner to accomodate the rear edge of the window frame (ask travis_118 about that, he's done it).
You may not be able to modify them for use with your door-mounted seatbelts because of the map pockets in them... I think that the seatbelt mechanism would be right behind where the map pocket indents, and it probably won't give you the proper clearance...
Just my thoughts, although I don't have any direct knowledge of that.
Hope that helps.

Also, forgot to mention:
On those door panels, it looks like the cutouts for the interior door handles are alot larger than normal, I can only assume that is to accomodate power window and power lock controls, so you may either want to find some of those handles/consoles, or you will have to modify some sort of adapter plate which will be visible around the door handle housing.
