XL and Core Belt. Are they the same??

Does anyone know if the belts used on the XL are the same as used on the Core One, except for length?  I would like to use the XL belts on a Core One for easier installation then trim to length.

They are the same (2GT belts, 6mm wide, 2mm teeth), but then my question would be why? Are you having a problem with your existing belts? If you are finding that the provided belts are "too short" then you are probably doing something wrong with the routing.

It is more about my hands. I have big and arthritic hands. I fumbled with the short exposed teeth a lot, and it is frustrating and time-consuming. I don't mind paying for longer OG belts then trimming them. I spent hours getting the originals installed, and by the time I had them working, my hands were sore. I resorted to purchasing a roll of GT2 that looks the same, but I am having a layer shift on large, wide prints and cannot get the Y-axis to pass, so I am going to replace the belt material I purchased with some OG Prusa belts for the XL just to see if that is my problem.

THX for help.
