You should be able to pull off the 1 tooth difference at the back. So long as your happy to have the same beltring up front. You would need to be careful with
chainbeltline though, I guess basing it on the Rohloff.I bought my set-up off the guy I got my frame off, on EBay. Its been quite painful keeping my thingers crossed so long. But it fits well and puts my fat rear tyres exactly were I want them. I have been looking into putting a Alfine hubed rear wheel together, to extend the range of the bike. As luck may have it. The set-up I have is 46:24, and the Alfine sprocket comes in 24 only :) .This will give me lots of spinny gears, but that might not be such a bad thing.
One important thing to check before parting with the cash. Is your chainstay clearance. Those beltrings are seriously wide. My frame has a crimp specifically for this purpose.
If you want any measurements from my 46T beltring, let me know.
BTW I took some pics of my frame opening mechanism last night. I was planning on posting them in the beltdrive thread when I get the chance.
