Default Is this the right crank tool?

I got this tool from the local Porsche dealer and it sure does not look like it is the right tool for a 87 928, to hold the crankshaft.
The angle of the teeth are not right, they need to be turned about 45 degrees.
Does any body have any idea what this fits?

I might be wrong, but I think that's the tool for cars with the old style lower bellhousing.

Matt is correct, that is for the early style bellhousings.

Yes, unless they take this one back tomorrow in exchange for the right one.

Those are correct numbers for early ('78-83 IIRR) and late ('83-95) designs.
