    Thats a completely different tensioner. Regardless of using the reg, your gonna need to swap that.

    I done a belt on a fiesta mk6 1.4 and there were 6 variants listed for the reg!

    Think you will find the old eccentric tensioner has been replaced by the later auto tensioner that were fitted from sept 2003 onwards.
