The point you are missing is "Why are they different?"
They are different because the 2.4L belt is longer by one (1) more tooth to compensate for the taller (6mm) deck height of the 2.4L block. Not an even number such as 2 (two) teeth. All remarking the gear does is get you close, but the cams are still off by 1/2 tooth which equals 3-4 deg of timing. If the gears were stamped the same and marked the same they would line up the same, but they don't. That's why Mitsu makes a different gear for the 2.4L. Lining up the marks as close as possible still has the cam dowl pin out of position which is what times the cams.
I has to use Fidanza gears to get the adjustablility to correct the timing. When I degreed my cams (HKS 272's) in both were off by 3-4 deg because of the longer belt. I just remarked the cam gears..
