Nope, it's defintely an R2 unit - look at it's shape and the LEGO
Website.  R4D5 is the red robot seen in SW:ANH being sold and then it
broke down - it's a different design hence the R5 number
Robot 5 Droid 4 if I remember.

Although I have to agree that it is definitely an R2 unit, I really think it
was Lego's attempt at making hte R4-D5 without having to create a whole new
mini-fig. I don't remember the details of the movie well enough to really
remember which droid rode in the Y-Wing, but I do remember a R2-ish looking
thing with a flat "head".

prehaps the one in the y-wing was a R2...but it was definately RED....so
they did get that part right!
