Timing belt date code?

Do Honda timing belts have a date code on them. I just bought a car, it has a Honda belt on it, buy I doubt it is original. Just wondering if the numbers on the belt represented a manufacture date. That would give me a better idea of when it was changed.

Thanks.

Bump. I can't be the only one that's curious about this.

I've never heard of one and the service manual doesn't make any mention that I see either.

Never seen a date code, and even if there was one on the package (or belt for that matter) it would represent the date the belt was made, which could be years before you bought it.
