If the belts are original, it is possible that there has been some stretch that has moved the timed position such that it is now closer to the 2.0/2.5/160 position
But as above, just change them as per the book and use the 190 plates and it will be correct.

Mike, 1955diesel was, I believe, referring to the position marks on the earlier 800 version of the KV6 which had floating rear sprockets. I believe that for the later 75/45 KV6 that the rear sprockets should be pretty much aligned when new belts are fitted, irrespective of power output - no not 100% spot on but close enough so that it is technically possible to fit the rear belts with the front tools in place (just about!), which I achieved.
