If you look at it carefully then the inside circumference is the important one and manufacturers labels tell us what we want to know in many cases.
The Gates number K081145 says it has 8 ribs and the inside circumference is 114.5 approximately.

If you are desperate then you could measure the belt length with a piece of string and get a good idea of the belt length required and count the ribs. Take into account the tensioner requirement as well.
This has been mentioned on the forum before by Woody W if I remember correctly.
