2011 D3 163 auto cam belt come off

O.k, so on the way home a couple of weeks ago the low water coolant level light came on then a mile or so later the engine gave up, the cam belt has come off the water pump and coolant was running out all over, I just had new volvo belts pulleys and tensioners put on the car about 6k miles ago but didnt do the pump as the general consensus on here was to leave it (big mistake), I dont know what happened to make it give up the ghost as I have had no time to look as I couldn't get the belt cover off, I guess as a minimum I realize that the head will need a rebuild, but due to the age and mileage 220k its almost a scrapper, and a used engine is £2k plus on ebay plus fitting.
My question is this, does anyone know if the 2.4D5 head from a 205 or 215 fit straight onto the 2.0 5 pot D3. As this may be worth me getting done as the car is only worth say £500 scrap on ebay.

Well not many answers there, never mind I sold it and got a 2013 S80 D5 Manual lux inscription with polestar map instead.
