Timing cover replacement ?

[reags8]

I think I may have found a replacement for my 3.0lx timing cover BUT the boat is in Maine and I'm nowhere near it to compare.
If memory serves I think the mercruiser timingcover has an opposite pattern then the one I attached ? Can anyone with a 3.0 take a look at their engine for me and let me know ?

2.5l Pontiac engine and the more digging I did (search the forums) the more I found that this motor is marine only !

So with that said it looks like I need to pony up $225.00 for a timing cover - marine parts are run by the mob.
