Is it just the exhaust housing that is different or is the rest of the turbo different too?

That's normal. The backing plate isn't installed. Someone may have used it as a downpipe flange instead of doing things properly. Should be easy to find in the For Sale section.

Make sure you don't damage the mating surface for the backing plate because there is no gasket there.
