Yes.  I have a intermediate shaft pulley on my cam, the part #s are the
same, the pulleys are the same, the marks are on both sides.

Not 16v enabled, but possibly?  It would make sense - if they're making new
cams, might as well make the new cams work with the old pulleys, which
would make sense to me.  No sense in creating a new pulley if you've got
perfectly good ones to work with!
