Calling all parts guys Belt for my RC60-71B

Ok like the title says I have a questions the parts guys can answer and possibly any owner of the same MMM.

I looked up the belt P/N on the Kubota Illustrated parts list the number for the belt is 76539-34710 belt multi 118 inch. This is where the confusion comes in, all of the belts I find online by that P/N are either 120 inch or 122 inch what gives??? anybody know why the replacement belts are 2-4 inches longer? Also if you bought one of those longer belts did it work?

The difference is in the way they were originally measured, Inside dia, versus outside dia.
So they are essentially the same.

Thank you NIW. I knew there had to be a reasonable explanation. Trying to get ready for the mowing season and was really confused about the belt.
