1999 timing tensioner

I'm doing the timing belt on my 1999 TL. I purchased the TKH-011 kit, which comes with the standard tensioner design I'm used to for Honda/Acura V6s. I've discovered that the 1999, unlike later TLs, comes with a slightly different tensioner. The physical dimensions between the mounting points and the pin tip seem the same. Can I use the normal/later tensioner on the 1999, or do I need to find the weird tensioner?

The typical tensioner does not seem listed on rock auto so i would err on the side of caution

Interesting, the RA listing for TKH011 pictures the required TB tensioner?
Was RA the source of your procured TKH011 TB kit?

Um yeah nevermind, I'm an idiot. The kit just came in, and it has the 1999 tensioner as you've pictured.
