Sure enough, they're identical other than the direction the orifices face so I just put the S85 guts into the S65 housing, all new hoses, and away we go. This actually happened in the spring [and I forgot to update this] so the car has some road miles and many track days on it with flawless results.
I reused the same belt as above.

Thanks for share. Are the pump rebuildable.
I have an 2008 s65 pump and worried about its age.
