This is weird... three ribbed belt

Earlier this week I was going to change out my belts. Put on a goodyear gatorback for the AC and for the power steering, I was going to put on one as well, but ran into a problem.

The smaller belt that I was taking off only had three ribs. The pully in the middle of the engine had three groves and the pully towards the rear had four. The smaller belt that I took off only had three groves. No one has one of these. Even matched up the part numbers with the local Nissan dealership and it's a four groove belt.

So what's going on here? Do 95 Maximas have something weird going on here or is it possible that someone replaced the pulley before with the wrong one?

Only shows to be one part number, for all A32s. Shoot me a PM tomorrow during the day, and I can check my '95 (build date, 02/95) after work for you. What is the build date on your car?
