Updated Timing Chain Tensioner

Is this the updated, correct one? I've crosschecked the part number with CED, but this one is so much less money, I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

probably correct but no picture to see. If you buy it and it has a green o ring halfway down the body, send it back. Thats the old style

Looks like someone already replaced mine with the new tensioner, according to the bolt head. I don't see the markings on the corners, but the washer is also there. Looks really old. I have the new one here on me, think I should replace still? Or keep this one in?
