Cooling fan clutch interchangeable?

Hi, last week I ordered a replacement cooling fan clutch for my 2003 ML350 W163, but today I received a different model. Both are listed as fitting 2003 W163. So I'm wondering, by any chance are these two clutches interchangeable or did I need to send this part back?

The clutch part number per your VIN is 112 200 02 22 and looks very similar to the clutch in the upper most picture. I would not accept something different.
