I look at it extremely simplistically.
Probably not as accurate but makes sense to me

1) the 2.7 was so that they could race a 2.8 RSR with the same aero and suspension pickup points
2) the 2.7 RSR was raced as a replacement for the 917 when rules changed
3) the 930 was a street going version of the RSR with now production flares and a high horsepower motor with less of a short fuse and expensive build compared to the 2.8 race motor.

Simple enough for me ;-)
