Default Difference between ac compressors - help

Hello.

Car is an 04 UK Impreza sti.

My ac compressor failed. I ordered one from a parts company but the one that turned up is model number 73111fe030.

The one that was on the car was a 040 at the end.

The compressors have a different technical difference on the label but more crucially they are a) different sizes and b) different mounts.

The 030 has 3 holes, the 040 has four holes.

Google says they're both for the Impreza but as I'm out in spain its hard to get parts. Does it require a different mounting adapter bracket or do the holes line up and one is left blank? I'm not a mechanic.

Any help would be appreciated as Google just trys to sell you them.

The UK one is physically bigger compressor. We've tracked down the correct one now.

Awkward but not the end of the world.
