99 XJ8 VDP: Differences between VDP and XJ8 (Tensioner Pulley specifically)

I've not commonly run into differences between parts for a 1999 Vanden Plas and 1999 XJ8, but today I have and not sure if it's true.
I'm looking for a tensioner pulley assembly. I found one on eBay, which claims it's compatible with 98-03 XJ8, but only 00-03 VDP. Can anyone confirm that there is a difference on the 98-99 VDP?

I doubt it, but call a Jag dealer and ask for availability and if there are 2 different part numbers based on the 2 trim levels. If it were me, I'd have researched it before posting the question.
