Peugeot Cambelt change interval different from Fiat

I doubt it. It's one or the other, the belt will be the ancillary belt that drives the water pump, alternator, air conditioning etc. and the chain for the distribution.
The belt drives one camshaft and the chain drives the other cam off the first camshaft
 
Here is the Peugeot version, for various items, for reference

From this I read that Peugeot are saying that the belt is good for ten years life span which I would agree with. I changed mine at 7 years, 22k miles, and the belt was in excellent condition. I also fitted a new water pump and it was as new.

For any one who is concerned about the water pump failing it is built very well and not like any pump I've seen in terms of robustness, I will not be changing mine ever again and would be happy to refit the one I removed.

Peugeot have kept the mileage as 96k though so are saying the same as fiat with respect to wear of the belt.
 
I bought my Peugeot Boxer based AutoSleeper motorhome new in 2014, so I'm guessing its Ford Puma engine was built maybe 2013, and I've always been under the impression (from mechanics) that because it has a timing chain, not belt, that it will never need changing. The engine has currently done 105,400 miles without me giving it much thought - until now! Coincidentally, it's booked in for a service next week, ahead of shipping to Canada in a couple of months for a trip, so I'll raise the issue then - maybe even timing chains need replacing at some point.
Irritatingly, not all components have been as reliable - the odometer, while still working, has been constantly flashing on/off since around 102,000 miles (Peugeot have no idea why!) and the DPF gave me big problems and put me into limp mode at 77,260 miles.
