Thank you Hopey for your attention and clarifications.
But what are the dimensions (inner circumference, width and thickness) or the PRB references

The 490, 500, 520 and 530 all use the same two belt types, so Akai belt sets for any of these models will work.
Icedmelon702 sold these 3-belt sets as recently as July (here) so you might want to contact him to see if he has more.

These do not have a PRB code, old or new format, so if nobody here responds, and you're determined to find the belt specs to avoid waiting for an ebay seller, you'll have to measure the cross section of your old belts. Snugly wrap some thread or wire around the belt paths and subtract 5% to find the ideal length. I can help convert your measurements into a belt code.

Some sites do let you look up belts by vendor part number, but I didn't see MB703339 or MB703379.
Not sure where Hopey got that drive belt number, but it's not what the service manuals list.

I found the service manual for 520 I think they are the same as well as the tape counter belt.
