Default Question about 1989 323 BF timing belts

Hi my april 1989 323 BF is due for a water pump and timing belt change but i cant find any resources on the specific belt i need.
Each site ive been on gives the option of 3 belts with the same number of teeth, length and pitch but varying width from 19mm, 21mm and 22mm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you
edit: forgot to mention the engine is the carbureted SOHC B6

Is your engine 8 valve or 16 valve?
Sedan or Hatch?
Auto or manual?
Rego?

Random guess for a Carby 16v Auto Sedan = Gates T185 ( 22mm belt) or TCK185 for the timing kit. Repco timing kit is RTTKWP185( includes pump)

it's an 8 valve auto sedan, you reckon I should go for the largest belt then?
cheers

Looking at the repco trade site is interesting.

Can you give me your rego number?

It mentions 21, 21.5 & 22mm belts.

Yeah it looks like I've got the only model 323 where this is a pain in the *** to find.
The rego is 323COL but ive never been able to find my car using it on sites like repco.
Cheers for the help

NSW rego search doesn't provide the full Chassis number. That's a shame.
