Seat Belt: Will the 2002 fit the 2001 Tacoma?

Does anyone have an idea why the seat belt part number is different between the 01 & 02 Tacoma? Hoping to buy the 02 seat belt and use it in my 01.

All of the 01 seat belts appear to be discontinued, but there seems to be a number of them for the 02 - see part numbers below.

Driver's Side (LH), MT, 3.4L

73220-04140BO (2001 / MT / 3.4L) wo/SR5?? Not sure it this is of concern.
73220-04141BO (2002 / MT / 3.4L)

(BO = charcoal color)

Also, even though I'm using my VIN to check the proper fit, some of the descriptions on the discontinued 01 part number say, "wo/SR5," which mine is. Did the SR5 add or subtract some interior function that could alter the seat belt? Or maybe the 2002 part number is for that 60/40 seat split.

 

I think it depends on the type of cab in lieu of Reg., Xtracab or DC.

If I’m wrong we will find out soon. lol
