Technical Clutch release bearing difference early/late cars?

[Steve70]

Hi folks, I'm in the process of changing the clutch on my 1994 Cinquecento, but the release bearing supplied is different to the one on the car. All the online images seem to be the same as the one I've been sent as part of the new kit. I wondered if early Cinqs have a different design? As you can see from the photo, the old one is a significantly larger assembly. Oddly there were no clips holding it in place, it was just retained on the release fork by old grease and could be lifted straight out.

Bearing changes with years and clutch brand, so could be ok. For better info you should check parts with VIN or at least with engine and year model.
