I did ask my local indy and they said their computer said both belts were 120k interval.
I guess the sensible thing is just to change them, but the whole point of dealer servicing was to make sure the right belts and tensioners were used given that them seem to have a had a few variants...
What would you do?

Your belts and tensioner are proof that a good deal more mileage can be made before failure. I work on 54000/10 years auxillary belt and tensioner and 108000/10 years timing belt kit but it must vary as some belts are only 5 years, probably due to different materials used.
