Serpentine belt differences between 13-15 vs 16-17

I'm looking at getting a new serpentine belt for my 13. The PN for 13-15 is different than 16+. Why is that? Can someone take a pic of their 16+ belt setup.

Great response from a moron. You don't know my mechanical abilities, and if you cant answer the question why bother wasting your time?

Get yourself one of these and put it on the nut of the tensioner' s pulley.

Remove enough clips from the bottom cover to bend back the cover, or remove the entire cover if you fancy.

Pull back the tensioner, and remove the belt. Line up the new belt, and clock back the tensioner to allow the belt to slip in.
