Thanks! I've tracked down the manual for my Panasonic and it lists the replacement belts as being "RDV43Z" and "RDV42Z" is there any way to use these model numbers to track down current replacement belts.

Unfortunately many boxes have no cross reference info, but I've had great luck measuring belt paths with string/wire and subtracting 5%. Sampler packs work too but sometimes the size/cross-section you need is missing (and quality can be iffy).

Ahh, ok. I have the original belts intact, can I just measure them and remove 5%?

No measure the path they take on the pulleys, the belt has likely stretched out over the years and doesn't represent the original length anymore.
Once you know the cross section and length you can find the closest match on the chart of standard belt sizes
