Parts: none.

You can say which XY joint B turns first, the left, and which face it shows there, teeth. Never wrap both belts on one pulley.

What you're looking at

The B belt is A's mirror image, driven by the rear-left motor in the lower plane: two runs on the left, one on the right. Each drive unit carries a toothed motor pulley for its own belt and a plain stack for the other.
