The original white ink stamping (yes, rubber stamp method) was very fragile. Time, fluid leaks, careless handling, pressure washing, or chemical cleaning all removed the text. Original belts are not ultra rare but ones with text that you can read are. Production and service parts were dated. The latest date I know of for a service part was in the fall of 1966.
Restorers have no problem getting stamps made but finding high performance, narrow width, and unmarked belts is not just an any parts store search.
