Yes! Pretty Cure 5: This one's weird. The girls have two completely different group dynamics, which form two distinct Five Man Bands. The left-hand FMB is normally seen when the group is acting as an ordinary group of True Companions and nothing more; when it's time to deal with matters more suited to a team of Magical Girls, like fighting the Monster of the Week, they switch to the right-hand FMB. (Well, except that Urara/Lemonade has a tendency to turn into a second Nozomi/Dream when the plot isn't focusing on either of them, putting her on the wrong side.)
