idea for linear belt drive

Tried to measure teeth but the bottom section is radiused about 3mm, so not easy to measure. Taking a resin cast at the moment to to get better measurements. Definately 8mm pitch about 25.6mm wide looking like a HTS pulley might be the one but not found any measurements to caompare to.

According to Gates, RPP belts will run interchangably on RPP or standard HTD profile pulleys. The main difference it would seem is that the RPP profile has a dent on the top of the tooth to reduce wear and allow the tooth to sit deeper increasing the transmission properties. Are there any markings on the belt itself? Here's a PDF with tooth dimensions for a specific brand.
