Everything I know
The are guide pins on them to make sure they are aligned. But the heads are the same, if it isn't over head camshafts. Answer to your question is, No it doesn't matter.

The marks are for an initial reference only. Once the belt is correctly in place and proper tension set, the cam is in time with the crankshaft and will stay that way until the belt breaks or slips from one cog to the next (won't happen if the tension is correct).
After the belt is initially set with the marks lined up, two rotations of the crankshaft (one rotation of the camshaft) will have the marks in a different place. The only exception would be if the belt had an exact multiple of ribs/teeth compared to the crankshaft, and that is not very likely.

If your belt came with marks, then they should match the marks that are on the sprockets and block, if not, you must have the cam marks align with those on the engine. If you're in doubt about the exact spot, lay a tooth pick across the sprockets so that you can check alignment to the block.

SOURCE: How do you set the timing on a 2005 nissan altima
The cam has an access cover that allows you to see that the timing points line up. You have to look at the cam from the end on the passenger side and see that the points line up. This is done by making sure the lower pulley is on Top Dead Center and then look to see that the cam and the pointer line up with the inspection cover removed.,,,,,,, I copied this from somebody else, I thought I would pass it on. I have a Nissan Sentra, but I am not familiar with the cams. Hope this helps.
thew timing marks for vanette cargo are on the timing belt u carnt go wrong
Fig. 6: The number one cylinder is at TDC when the timing marks are aligned as shown (clikc image for zoom)
Check that the mating marks on the sprockets are aligned as shown
in the illustration. If not, the crankshaft should be rotated another
360°.
Fig. 7: It may be helpful to paint marks on the chain and sprockets if the marks are not easily visible
Remove the camshaft position sensor. Mark the position of the sensor before removal to help keep the ignition timing correct.
Fig. Line up the mating marks on the lower timing chain with the marks on the sprockets
Hope this helps.
