Sorry m8 :-(
Looks like you need bottom pulley and alternator pulley off a 2wd.
I think the multi rib pulley set up is 4x4

the thing is Dave that the alternator pulley matches the crank pulley so he needs a 4x4 multi v water pump pulley he might also need the large 4x4 /escort alternator power steering pump bracket & not the drop bracket .

the ribbed part of bottom pulley drives power steering ,alternator& water pump the extra v on the front of crank is for air con .
this is a escort cosworth set up but i machined off the extra v for clearance.
