Three difference is off you do or don't have towing package from the factory.

With towing:


Without towing:


Compare the photos to your party there are marked differences in the shape you should be able to tell and confirm if matches tow or not toe.

It has a an original trailer hitch but not towing package.

If you run your vin through a decoder, look for option "S233A"


If it has it, then the S233A=Yes tells you which part you need
