That's been changed you wont see the written on a old belt specially ones that have done 8 years work. Most garages will replace with a gates belt too as they are the most common in indy garages and local car parts places.
Only done 70 miles in it since. Just doesn’t look brand new like I expected when I opened the casing. The aux belt looks brand spanking new but this belt just doesn’t have the same look about it.

Plus an old original belt wont have gates stamped on it.
It's a moot point now as the op has deleted the picture but in my opinion the belt didn't look new, I'm not saying it was the original one but to me it didn't look new.
I'm retired now and have no idea exactly how many cambelts I've fitted but it will be in the thousands and in my experience it's not unusual to see the writing on the back of a quite old and worn belt.

This, it was all frayed down one side as well! I'm retired now and have no idea exactly how many cambelts I've fitted but it will be in the thousands and in my experience it's not unusual to see the writing on the back of a quite old and worn belt.
