COD simply lists the hexagonal binary metal structure type assigned to
BiMn by Wyckoff 50 years ago. Occupancies will be 1 for that structure
type.
According to ICSD P63/MMC BiMn was first studied in detail by Chen;
Chen Tu "Contribution to the equilibrium phase diagram of the Mn - Bi
system near MnBi (1974) Journal of Applied Physics 45, 2358-2360
However, ICSD also reports a P2221 structure for MnBi:
Goebel, H.;Wolfgang, E.;Harms, H. "Properties of MnBi compounds partially
substituted with Cu, Zn, Ti, Sb, and Te. I. Formation of mixed phases and
crystal structures (1976) Physica Status Solidi, A34, 553-564
And even a Mn3Bi phase
Yoshida, K.; Yamada, T.; Furukawa, Y. "Formation of a metastable alloy
phase, Mn3Bi, in vacuum co-deposited films and its crystal structure
(1986) Acta Metallurgica 34, 969-979
