Default C5 Alternator?

I just received a new alternator from Gene Culley and it looks different from my original alternator. It has a made in France label and the pulley is significantly different then the original one in my car. The new alternator has a longer snout protruding from the pulley assembly. It physically looks like it will fit but I'm having doubt's this is the right part. Is this a new style? Has anyone ordered an alternator recently, and if so, did it look like the one pictured?

It is correct, it is just an updated part.

Is anyone running this alternator clutch pulley on a track car? I'm worried the clutch will overheat and possibly burn out from the high rpm shifting and throttle blip down shifts. Any feedback?
