Can't find a description of a late A5, but usually it's an adaptation to overcome the performance shortcomings of the regular model.
The A5 is also depicted as having an extra forward MG in the nose glazing.

The A6 is depicted as carrying balloon cable cutting device across the front.
It is described as unwieldy.
Im not sure, but I think this isnt correct.

A5 late = A4, but with weaker engines, and weaker defensive armament (MG-15 instead of MG81)
A5 early is the same, but without armored glass for the rear gunners.
