Possibly the SOHC engine may have a longer interval due to more belt wrap around a single pulley and less likely (just about impossible) for valves to clash in the event of a belt breakage.

yes this is an old thread but im having a similar sort of issue with my timing belt.

lining up the cams into the correct positions and starting the belt on the left hand inlet as it gets to the right hand exhaust its 1 tooth off.

driving me crazy!
