Ed's '96 Classic and my '00 Sport came with the mini-spare tire.
Perhaps it was an extra cost option.

I couldn't find it online so asked in a local Jeep group's page and found out you are basically right. A gent named TopherTJ seems to know the HTA laws for Ontario Canada. He came up with this:
Regulation 625, 4 (1) Tires shall be installed on a vehicle so as to avoid,
(a) a mixture of construction types consisting of radial ply tires on the front and bias ply or belted bias ply tires on the rear;
(b) a mixture consisting of 50 or 60 aspect ratio tires on the front with any aspect ratio of tires other than 50 or 60 aspect ratio, on the rear;
(c) a combination of construction types or sizes of tires on an axle, except where such types or sizes are equivalent by tire industry standards; or
(d) contact between tires in a dual set or a difference in overall diameter between tires in a dual set of more than thirteen millimetres or a difference in circumference of more than forty-one millimetres.
(2) Clause (1) (a) does not apply to tires fitted on a vehicle with dual rear tires.
(3) Clause (1) (c) does not apply to a temporary use spare tire, specified by a vehicle manufacturer as suitable for emergency use, if not more than one temporary use spare tire is installed on a vehicle.

The build sheet (thanks to another poster for THAT info!) just shows "TBB - Full Size Spare Tire" (I only just now thought to check it .)

Thanks for the update Mike.
