I'm at work, so I don't have the Mazda part # handy, but if you go to the Mazdatrix website and look it up. The part numbers they list can be "decoded" into Mazda part numbers by just transposing the order of the part number groups. Here's how:

The Mazda syntax is XXXX-YY-ZZZZ, where the X's represent a 4 digit alphanumeric code (e.g. say FC03 or 8462), the Y's are always a 2 digit number, and the Z's typically represent a 3 digit number followed by a revision letter (e.g., 290A). If there's no revision letter, it will be just a 3 digit number. In the case of painted body parts like this one, they also tack on the 2 letter paint code at the end, so in my case it would be the code for Brilliant Black.
