buy timing belt pieces

I believe through search I've kind of figured this out but haven't got a definitive answer... I have just bought a new Mx3 with(based off a video I saw) bad hydraulic timing belt tensioner. The seller says it's a KLZE, and so far from what I could tell he's telling the truth, so; to buy the part would I ask for timing belt components from a V6 Ford Probe/V6 Mazda MX-6 or would I be able to ask for MX-3 v6 pieces and they would be interchangeable.

The timing belt parts are interchangable.
The outer dimensions of the K-series are all the same, it's the internal components that are different.

Thanks, I ended up getting the Mazda Mx-6 one because they said they didn't have the Mx-3 one in stock. Worked great, now my car is quiet. That was a lot of work to replace one piece, if I had the money I would have just done the whole timing set but now when the time comes I'm pretty well prepared for the task.
