I was wondering if the spirits for each of the class designations have been the same ones fighting over the past in each of the four previous Holy Grail Wars, or other heroe's spirits are later contracted to replace the current spirits in the class designation that are occupying?

In simple words, the heroic spirit that currently holds the 'Saber' designation class has been the same one fighting in all the Holy Grail Wars or had been/will be replaced by another heroic spirit into that designation class?

The same goes to the classes: Archer, Lancer, Berseker, Rider, Caster, and Assassin.
No, any hero can be summoned for any class... minus the one your list is missing (I believe). Say the current Saber was summoned into the war when another Saber was already summoned. She would then take on a different role, probably a Rider IMO. She would also lose whatever special abilities Sabers have and would gain Rider abilities (not Noble Phantasms though, as they are unique).

But since Saber is best suited for a Saber, chances are that she'll be summoned as one. I assume this is why all the heroes (minus one, you could say) are very much suited to their roles.
