You'll see that 130 degrees in an anticlockwise direction is a little notch in the pulley edge. I have removed the surface corrosion but there is no evidence of any wording as mentioned in RAVE. This notch is a mystery since it cannot represent anything useful on my engine.

.. the accuracy of the mark is rather poor anyway and does little more than show you are close. The locating pin is the foremost in accuracy followed by the rear marks.
Agreed Nige. With the engine locking pin in place, I noted 2mm of rotational play in the mounting of the pulley. Behind it, the notch on the crankshaft toothed wheel aligns with the 'speech bubble', though not precisely:
