Default Is this a vette style WP (pic)

Im finishing up putting my motor together. And installed my water pump and the front main belt lines up with the rest but for some reason I think it doesnt look right. I may be wrong can someone confirm this is a vette style water pump. The guy I bought my long block from gave me a water pump I think its a steel one and not a oem aluminum.

Looks like a Corvette pump to me almost. A little different but will work , the Belt will ride almost to the rear of the pulley .
