I have noticed that all of my belts dated prior to 1941 are groove and dimple free like the attached image.
Are these the "1st model" Gurt 34/41?

To your question I would say check this website and then check Folke's book MG34 & MG42 as he did a little bit on the belts. I would like to have done some info stuff on German belts but things are a changing. I don't have his book here at work. Will try to check when I get home, if someone else did not answer your question before I get to it.

Well, that kind of leads me to my followup question....
Figure 514 in Volume I of Folke's book shows that (some?) 1st models have the stiffening grooves and dimples. I didn't see any examples listed of the "smooth" kind.
