They should be the same size/profile,I dont think Mazda make the belts,you can get them from the BF shop click the top r/h corner of this page.

With a V profile belt you are looking at a deflection at the middle of the longest run of the belt of 15mm when you adjust the tension of the belts.

Worth changing the aircon belt too while your at it. If it snaps it can get trapped in with the other belts and make quite a mess. It really needs access from below as it's a pig to get it over the crankshaft pulley.

I just bought a pair off ebay continental contitech ones 18.99 inc postage v profile belts they are good quality a little more expensive but worth it.
