Timing belt replacement woes

1980 Euro
I'm having trouble finding timing marks on the cam sprockets. I see some etched lines, but they don't jive with each other or the back cover. The harmonic balancer is light blue, so apparently not original. It has regular timing marks up to 35 BTDC, but then has a pronounced stamped line (like with a chisel) about 45 deg ATDC. This is where the left cam sprockets appears to line up some marks, best as I can tell. I know your supposed to change at 45 deg BTDC, but wonder if 45 ATDC would be the same?! I suppose you can change the belt anywhere as long as the sprockets don't move?!
What say ye?
