Rover V8 owners, please look at your timing cover bolts for me

I bought a set of timing cover bolts from a vendor, and they were a bit confused because I'm running a Rover SD1 timing cover on a later 3.9 V8 so all they did was send me the SD1 bolts. Most fit up fine but 1 is too long and I'm trying to find the right bolt. It's in the botton right of the cover by the ERC1188 (2) pin indocated on this diagram:
The bolt I have a 5/16 by about 4.5 inch long. They list a 3 inch and a 3.5 inch length bolt on the vendors website but they seem a bit short using my ruler (I may be wrong). I think the issue is this is where the PAS pump bolts on the SD1 so the bolts are longer? What bolt length are people using here for just the timing cover?
Thanks in advance.
