What Fuel Pump for 2001 70HP VRO Deleted ??

Motor was rebuilt and VRO deleted before I purchased motor.
I was going to rebuild the fuel pump due to diaphragm leaking but while looking for the rebuild kit I found out the part #398867 on the pump goes to a 15hp.
Seems like it should have a pump linked to a higher HP?
Before I go ahead rebuilding this, are there any suggestions for a different fuel pump #? Thanks
 
Thanks.
Do you know what the difference between the 438557 and 438559 pumps might be ?

I just looked up what the 70hp # was before VRO (83') and that # popped up. The 438559 is considerably less expensive is why I ask.

Also do you think the contributing factor to the diaphragm failing so soon was because the old pump was rated for such a smaller HP? It had less than 100hrs on it. The mechanic who had rebuilt the motor and deleted the VRO has a pretty high reputation so I was somewhat surprised to find this.
