The .NJ5 model files included in F.I.D. are just a newer version of .NJ (Ninja) binary chunk models. The first game includes all stages as .NJA which are Ninja ASCII models as well.
Noesis has issues with basically all of the Ninja models included in Sengoku Turb/FID, use SAMDL (from SATools) instead.

Soldier 1's life (and other stats) are at 8C3E13DA onwards, I don't know the offset between each character's stats.
