Hmm.. the first ever WCCT in 1975 had an A1 or A2 theme as cyclic shift of black defence motives.. which was won by Lacny with a blockbuster showing a 5 fold shift..
This TT seems to be for both motives as well as weaknesses..
This theme tourney is for change of defence motives OR defensive errors.
Here’s some links to the Lacny problem:

Once upon a time there was the 5th TT CCM dedicated to fairy problems with cyclic change of defence motifs: http://www.jurajlorinc.com/chess/ccm5tt_o.htm
Also in the Karol Mlynka 60 JT ten years ago there were quite a few fairy twomovers shown.
Note that in the KM 70 JT all stipulations are allowed, so that e.g. s#2 or #3 would be almost automatically original. Or r#2, like this one: http://www.jurajlorinc.com/chess/m261_269.htm#uloha1
