Never rely on the numbers.. They are wrong all the time.
One MUSt separate the transaxle from the engine and visually inspect the IMS flange.
if the nut in the center of the flange is 13mm, it can be retrofitted..
If the nut is 22mm reinstall the tranny and hope for the best as nothing can be done.

This is even the case for 2005 MY cars, they can have either bearing.

Also if you didn't buy the car new it could have had an engine replacement post 2006, if this occurred you will have the newer style bearing and can't retrofit the engine. All reman engines post 2006 got the new bearing.
