Hopefully I'm not revealing a complete lack of geometry and basic math her
but....   ;)

When assembled in belt form, is a given belt measured at the inner or outer
face when determining "length" ?

I recently went through something similar and it seemed to me that for the
same application, one maker might advertise an OD length and the other
maker, an ID length.

Not saying this is the case with your belt situation, just tossing it out
there.    :)
