Yes. Same pump. They've changed part numbers several times through 2016 AND also even introduced a reroute of a hose coming off the front of the pump requiring a hose coupling to be changed out. There are one or more posts on here discussing details and part number changes over the years. I'm not sure I remember seeing any specific dates mentioned, but I remember seeing something listing VIN #s.

According to the latest TSB (I just happen to have handy), if your F-type's VIN is greater than K00003, then it supposedly came from the factory with an updated water pump but it doesn't say if that means its the very latest pump or an earlier iteration of the upgraded pumps, just that's when a new bearing seal was introduced. I would say don't really worry about it, but do get yourself a little inspection mirror and once in a while, check around the bottom of the water pump for signs of orange crusting. The TSB tells them not to replace it just for orange crust, but if it starts looking bad, then you'd have an argument to make them do it before your warranty runs out.
