Finally, am I completely wrong? And is it Power steering pump on the other belt?
Suggestions welcome.
Thank you.

To see which belt it is, carefully drip some water on the drive face of each belt in turn, if the squeal vanishes for a short while that will be the belt, the water lubricates the belt for a short while allowing slip with no noise.
