dont know its name i got one of em on my lathe they fitted a new style one green colour reinforced webbing , i would say the old belts are not worth much since age disintigrates them and makes am more or less usless depending on how well they can hold up with age . some real old ones are leather ones

No such thing as OSH anymore. Hasn't been for years.

Had a look on Wikipedia, they just call it a flat belt:
sas777 is right it's just a flat belt. A can (aerosol) of "belt grip" is handy to have can prolong the need to replace a worn belt.

This used to be driven off the front of a diesel engine in a trawler, up through a hole in the deck to the trawl winch, if we had a lot of weight in the net, sometimes the belt would stretch so much, that we stop heaving and slip the belt off cut a section out and put those awful hammer on clips on and rejoin just to get enough drive, and yes that was with belt stick ladled onto it as well. It would have a big swinging jockey wheel that pulled it tight, like really tight, big plummer block bearings on each side of the pulley off the engine.
One of the most dangerous occupations out, working on a side trawler.
