Are all SOHC t/belts the same?

Hi, I've just ordered a timing belt from ebay that says it fits ej18,20,22,25 SOHC etc.
But when I got it and measured it against the belt from my EJ20 it was way longer. Did they send me a DOHC belt or are there actually different length SOHC belts and I just bought the wrong one???
Might sound like a dumb question but I just need to confirm so I get my full refund.

1996 EJ18 and 1991-92 EJ22 definitely use the same timing components, so I imagine anything around that era would be the same.

the EJ 16,18,20,22 all use the same timing belt, my engine is an EJ20 with an EJ22 belt on it as well I have an EJ16 with an EJ22 belt on it
Im pretty sure they have sent you the wrong belt

My thoughts too!
And Toonga, have you gone off the deep end mate? That signature of yours is a "little out there" to say the least! Is there something you want to share with us???
Sorry for the hijack!
Cheers

i guess they the same, i know the DOHC ones from beginning to bout 2000 are same.
they are longer and they have 5 lines on them two sets of 2 lines about 150mm apart (for the right and left banks of 2 pulleys and between them a line for the crank.
DOHC ones are hars to get in aus for less than $100, so sell it or sell it fitted
