     I've thought that my TR3A didn't have a timing mark until I took

the belt 
off and found that there is a small hole in the pulley right below 
where we had 
made a mark with liquid paper. Obviously, this must be the timing 
mark, but how 
is one supposed to see it with the belt covering it? Most crank 
pulleys have 
some sort of colored slot for a timing mark.
     What gives? Are they all like this?


Yep. All wide belt are like this. You see the mark because at the
location of the timing tab on the chain cover, the belt is not
covering the hole. Of course, due to the construction of the pulley,
you can have the hole offset by multiples of 60 degrees but it would
be the same with a slot.
Like Nietsche once said "do not confuse a colored slot with a slut of
color"
