Default Timing belt guides missing on 05 STI

I'm in the middle of changing the timing belt on my 05 STI and there is only one guide fitted over the crank gear. Is this normal for a car with AVCS? Because I'm following meatys timing belt guide and on the earlier WRX it has an additional 3 guides over the camshaft gears.

And according to the service book the timing belt was done by a Subaru dealer, and it has a Subaru belt fitted. So either they are not supposed to be there or someone forgot to fit them again?

All Newage should have the 3 small belt guides on the cam gears, apart from the l/h inlet.

Cheers

Struggling to find any online, I'm hoping a Subaru dealer could get them to me quickly.

you often find people are lazy and simply take them off instead of aligning them correctly, far better than setting them with too little clearance though to be fair.........
