Apparently they feel a cross referenced part number of a different manufacturer is the same part. I ran into that when purchasing new front wheel hub bearings assemblies for the wife's car from Rock Auto back in 2013. I ordered 2 Timken hubs and this is what I received. Kinda tweaked me but I was in a bind so I installed them and both have worked fine for the last 7 years.
But yeah, it ain't right that you don't get exactly what you order. This is why I try to buy parts from the local store so I don't get the switcheroo like this.
Joe is correct about the CARQUEST being rebranded Gates belts. I just bought belts from Rockauto and received the same deal. In Rockauto's defense when you go to pick out the belts from their site they Say Gates Wholesaler Closeout-Private Label PKG.

It is made by Gates. There's a reason why those "closeout" parts on RA are so much less than the price of the regular ones. That alone should tell you something.
I just blew up A/C belt. It was Napa premium/Gates. IIRC it's about 17 years old and of course it got the hood insulation, still in tact but has a gouge in it.. I just replaced them all with same Napa belts. Nice to see made in USA. The mexico made ones are 1/4 of the price of the USA made belts.

Yeah, close out somebody closed or they are getting ages so they want to move the stuff it’s rubber it wears out on the shelf
