Default Square toothed Gates timing belt

Here's something I didn't think existed. I searched but I couldn't find a US retailer that sold the square-toothed belt for older cars (through 1982) made by Gates.

The internet wisdom is that Gates belts stretch less than other manufacturer's belts. After searching all sorts of websites, I looked on eBay and found one out of the UK. It finally showed up and is the "unobtainable" Gates belt with square teeth. I half-suspected that a later belt with round teeth would show up in the box.
