2002 and 2005 timing questions

I have a 2002 max with the 6speed hlds. I'm changing the engine because mine is about to go.
my question is does anyone know what the difference's are between the timing setup between the 2002 vq35de and the 2005 vq35de?
I notice the 05 primary timing tensioner, timing guide is different and the chain is longer then the o2? will the 05 timing components work on a 2002 and vice versa

All I know is to change the timing components to aftermarket, heavier duty ones because the tensioners and guides on 6th gens fail more often.
