Vibe GT - Non-GT Belt Tensioner Compatibility?

Is the serpentine belt tensioner in the Vibe GT the same as that in the non-GT Vibe (also Matrix XRS and non-XRS)? Some aftermarket suppliers list the same tensioner for both engines, while others list two different units. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I also learned the hard way, still trying to find a GT tensioner assembly other than the dealer for 250! Any tips where to buy?
