The only thing to look out for is the buckle. On the late 2003-2004 model, the buckle on them has 2 smaller rectangular holes instead of the 1 larger rectangular one on the earlier models. Hope this helps

My S40 2002 has had a seat belt changed by a Volvo dealer sometime ago, long before I found it! the "new" belt has frayed and is now an advisory.
The original belts had the 1 hole type buckle
The "new" belt is the 2 hole type
The good news is that both types fit the early (one hole) stalk. (my NSF belt is one hole and OSF belt is two hole) both fit in either seat stalk and the stalks appear to be original - 1 hole.
Other things I have learnt - the "dealers" fix for frayed seat belts is to trim off the frayed material then singe with a lighter. Remove the belt and turn it over so the other edge of the belt wears. Not sure if its an approved method but there it is.
